There are practical difficulties in making intercultural education a substantial element of inclusion in both primary and compulsory secondary education in E urope. The S panish education system and, in particular, the C atalan education system, have developed a series of strategies in response to the new multicultural complexity encountered in both the classroom and society as a whole. In this study, several inclusive attempts of the C atalan education system will be discussed. As a consequence of their analysis, educational models that are compatible with the framework of inclusive education will be presented as an effective means of promoting greater social integration and a peaceful coexistence in the school context.
