The article aims to define the changes and evolution of our global economical system and the role played by education in this moment and in particular the education of disabled people.Methods. Methodological basis for analyzing this problem lies in a systematic approachto studying social processes, and analyze the social systems and the social view and expectation on education and in particular on the inclusive educational systems. Results. Politicians don’t know what to do concerning disabled people in the future. They don’t need disabled people anymore, (cause the industrial society has ended) but they have to support them. Consider that social policies have, in the last years, enhanced the working age and this will mean increasing the level of disabilities and disabled people. Scientific novelty of the article concludes in well-founded proof that the solutionsare on the mouth of every politician in the world of education, but from the words to the reality we cannot measure the real involvement in maintaining their promises.The only real possibility is to change the teachers and school’s system: a paradigm where the students will have no more to adapt themselves to the teacher’ lessons, but the teachers will adjust their work to the different students, transforming the slogan «nobody’s left behind» into a reality.Practical significance lies in the conclusion that a new possibility for the society is the paradigm that I have called a school of the future as «Learning Possibilities»  environment.
