Abstract: This article presents the results of an exploratory study focusing on inclusive education as a right, and the challenges faced by schools and teachers following the implementation of Decree-Law 54/2018, which regulates inclusive education in Portugal. Specifically, the objectives are: i) to understand the perceptions of primary school teachers about inclusive education as a right; ii) to identify the challenges of inclusive education faced by schools and teachers. This is a qualitative study, using semi-structured interviews with teachers from the 2nd and 3rd cycles of primary education from two school clusters (AE) in the Greater Porto region, who work in classes that include students with neurodiversity. The data were subjected to content analysis techniques from a multi-referential epistemological perspective, seeking to understand the complexity of the phenomena in question. The results point to a diverse understanding of inclusive education, emphasizing that this is a purpose not yet fully embraced by schools and all teachers. The main challenges to achieving inclusive education as a right are highlighted as the lack of conditions and resources, and the need for initial and ongoing training to develop inclusive teachers capable of intervening in multicultural contexts, adopting practices of attention, respect, and valuing the diversity of students.
