The educational response that is being offered to students with a specific need for educational support in secondary schools or centers is considered insufficient and clearly improvable. After showing that, in these centers, the principle of attention to diversity that must permeate all basic education is violated, as well as the right to full participation, learning and success of all that the inclusive school model proclaims, in this document reflects on how the current regulations classify students who require different educational attention than ordinary ones, establishing a marked conceptual barrier between students with special educational needs (acnees) and the rest of the groups of students with specific need for educational support (acneaes) that may also present a significant gap of two or more courses at the level of curricular competence; while significant curricular adaptations (acs) are reserved exclusively for the former, the educational response that is foreseen for the latter (acneaes that are not acnees), remains in the absolute absence of definition, also falling into serious inconsistencies when designing and develop an appropriate educational proposal and, above all, when addressing one of the essential parts of the teaching / learning process: evaluation. In this sense, without renouncing for this reason to demand a more profound and structural transformation of the Educational System, a change in the regulations is proposed so that in the subjects in which this student receives specific support, normally Language and Mathematics, the evaluation takes as reference the proposed elements in the individual curricular proposals that are designed based on their level of curricular competence.
