Diversity is a term very used in our days. It concerns the outside and inside of a person. The educational system is called to respond to diversity. Teachers are called to manage effectively the situation and should acquire knowledg of psychology, and of special education, sociology and anthropology, so as to include effectively the diversity in their classrooms.
