    Inclusive education aims to ensure access, retention, and participation for all students, regardless of their personal, social, or cultural conditions. This approach promotes educational equity by valuing diversity as an opportunity for learning and coexistence. Previous research has shown that teachers' knowledge, attitudes and practices are key factors in the effective implementation of this model. In this context, the present study aimed to describe the attitudes, knowledge, and practices related to inclusive education among teachers at the Millennium Educational Units Sayausí and Carlos Rigoberto Vintimilla, located in rural parishes of Cuenca, during the 2025–2026 period. A quantitative approach was used, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive design. A total of 80 teachers participated in the study, and the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Scale (CAP Scale) was applied. The results showed that teachers had an adequate understanding of the theoretical foundations of inclusive education, but limited knowledge of specific regulations such as the PIAR and Ministerial Agreement 00089-A. Regarding attitudes, a positive disposition was identified toward adapting the teaching process and recognizing different learning paces. In the practical dimension, the use of diversified strategies and flexible assessment criteria was observed. It is concluded that continuous training and improved pedagogical resources are essential to strengthen and consolidate equitable and high-quality inclusive education.
