What is Unaccompanied Foreign Minor

The research study provides a reflection on individuals who find themselves at risk of social exclusion, with the aim of exposing the lived reality of this group, especially those in regions where ARSSCI (Andalusian strategy for social cohesion and inclusion) is being applied, highlighting highly vulnerable individuals such as UMCA (unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents). With regards to the latter, critical analysis is used to establish a set of potential measures for tackling the different educational challenges faced by teachers and educational institutions. This approach strives to give visibility to the ignored reality of a population that finds itself excluded from Spanish society, especially vulnerable minors and UMCA. Only through greater awareness and collective action will it be possible to implement educational policies and programs to promote social inclusion. This requires giving a voice and visibility to those who are marginalized by society and, from the educational setting, remove barriers to enable fair and equitable coexistence for the whole population.
