Generation of social movements as a mechanism for access to education for the vulnerable population in Colombia

Abstract

This article is related to the project entitled Social Development, Territories and Border of the Social Work Research Group GITS, where social movements are analysed from the perspective of social development, framed in the access to education as a fundamental right. It is also part of the training processes carried out by the Social Transformations Research Seminar SITS of the Francisco de Paula Santander University. This article reflects on the importance of social movements in promoting access to education. It begins with a presentation of the research method, describing the process carried out through the analysis of qualitative information, followed by a description of the results and a discussion on education from the perspective of access to technologies. It ends with conclusions that highlight the importance of social movements in strengthening the processes of education in the population that, due to socio-economic conditions, has historically been excluded from access to education. These social movements are shown to be the driving forces that generate social transformations aimed at reducing the gaps experienced by the inhabitants of our country.
