The perspective from the parents of non-university students is essential in determining inclusive education in a school. The Index of Inclusion is one of the most widely used self-assessment tools and strategies to help teaching teams self-assess their political cultures and practices from the perspective of the values and principles of educational inclusion worldwide. For this reason, the present study intends to show evidence of validity of the Index for Inclusion questionnaire for parents of non-university education students, in a quantitative way, through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In this study, 108 fathers and 500 mothers took part, aged between 21 and 62 years ( = 43.59; = 6.64), whose children belonged to educational institutions throughout Spain. The results revealed adequate adjustment rates, showing invariant structure with respect to sex. The Index for Inclusion for families of non-university education students was shown to be a robust and adequate psychometric instrument to assess the degree of development of inclusive education in educational institutions from the perspective of the parents of said student body. The family is a basic pillar in the education of children and a reference for them. In addition, parents of non-university education students are configured as fundamental participatory elements of the child's educational institution thus; making the family a fundamental element that favors inclusive education. Precisely because of all this, the future administration of this questionnaire (to the parents of these students) is recommended.
从非大学生家长的角度来看，确定学校的包容性教育至关重要。包容指数是最广泛使用的自我评估工具和策略之一，可帮助教学团队从全球教育包容的价值观和原则的角度评估其政治文化和实践。出于这个原因，本研究旨在通过验证性因素分析（CFA）以定量方式证明非大学生家长包容指数问卷的有效性。在这项研究中，有 108 位父亲和 500 位母亲参加，年龄在 21 到 62 岁之间（=43.59；=6.64），他们的孩子来自西班牙各地的教育机构。结果显示出适当的调整率，表明在性别方面具有不变的结构。非大学生家长包容指数被证明是一种可靠且适当的心理计量学工具，可从上述学生群体的家长的角度评估教育机构中包容性教育的发展程度。家庭是儿童教育的基本支柱，也是他们的参考。此外，非大学生家长是孩子教育机构的重要参与元素；因此，家庭是促进包容性教育的基本要素。正因为如此，建议未来对这些学生的家长进行此问卷的管理。
