Madrid, May 21, 2026.- The Government of the Region of Murcia has highlighted its commitment to move beyond the concept of formal equality to build true policies of social cohesion and educational integration. This was made clear during the round table “Maximizing the social impact of Public Administrations”, held within the framework of the III Conference on Challenges of Public Administrations in Innovation and Training, organized by ODILO in collaboration with AWS.
In this context, Pedro Mondéjar Mateo, General Director of Attention to Diversity of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of the Region of Murcia, has shared the vision of the Murcian administration on the need to consolidate formal equality with the development of real policies of social cohesion and integration in the educational field.
For the person in charge, inclusion is a structural challenge for today’s society, stressing that “for society it is a challenge to be inclusive“, he said, insisting that “equal opportunities are not enough, but working on social cohesion and educational integration”.
In this sense, he highlighted the responsibility of the administrations to promote more inclusive and coordinated educational models, capable of transforming the organisation of schools towards new paradigms of attention to diversity. He also highlighted the implementation of the PlanTEA programme, an initiative aimed at guaranteeing an inclusive, equitable and quality educational response for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which seeks to reduce learning barriers, improve the well-being of students and promote their participation in the educational environment.
Mondéjar also stressed that coordination between actors is key to the success of these policies, stating that “we can contribute a lot to society if we all work along the same lines“, in reference to collaboration between administrations, educational centres and families.
Continuous learning, collaboration, and system transformation
“In a scenario where Artificial Intelligence and changes in the labor market advance at a dizzying pace, continuous learning is no longer a desirable complement. Today it is a structural necessity. We are obliged to constantly qualify citizens so that they are not left behind, of course, but also our teachers and the public employees themselves who design the future of these policies,” said Sarah Harmon, CEO of ODILO.
For her part, Ainhoa Marcos, VP of Public Sector and Education at ODILO, said that “if we have learned anything in these years, it is that the great challenges we face cannot be solved in isolation. We need collaboration. We need to share knowledge. And we need to build bridges between the public and private sectors to promote projects that really generate an impact on people’s lives,” he said.
Esther Monterrubio, Secretary General of Vocational Training of the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, was in charge of the inauguration of the event and emphasized that VT is strengthened when centers and companies work together: since this will train competent people capable of joining real environments and capable of adapting.
