Inclusive education seeks to guarantee equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their abilities. In Colombia, policies such as Decree 1421 of 2017 support this type of education, but challenges remain, such as the lack of specialized teacher training. The implementation of pedagogical workshops is proposed as a strategy to strengthen teachers' competencies in inclusive education. These workshops allow teachers to acquire practical tools to address the specific needs of students with different abilities. The research, carried out at the Cumbe Indigenous Agricultural Technical Educational Institution, seeks to improve the implementation of inclusive education by analyzing teacher perceptions, identifying barriers, and proposing recommendations. Interviews with teachers reveal that, although they have experience, their knowledge of inclusive policies is superficial, limiting their application. The workshops significantly improved teachers' skills, increasing their knowledge of educational policies and providing practical tools for managing diversity in the classroom, resulting in more inclusive and meaningful learning.
