This article aims to reflect on inclusive education in rural schools, a relevant trend as a proposal for change in the educational context, as a space open to transformations and significant skills, from models adjusted to 21st century education. It was oriented from a critical-reflective approach, following the process of thematic exposition and contextualized reflection. As a result, critical reflection reveals the gap between regulations, existing theory and reality in the implementation of inclusive education in the classroom; particularly in rural contexts. It is concluded that the inclusive school faces great challenges in comprehensive care, such as: training in values, pedagogical approach, didactic strategies, inclusive curriculum, physical and technological infrastructure; but, above all, it reveals the lack of an inclusive culture in the academic community; not easy tasks for the rural school, lacking resources and possibilities; but in search of educational quality. Keywords: Educative community; education; inclusive education; rural school; flexibility; participation.
