Sumario:Rural demographic decline in Spain -particularly in regions such as Castilla-La Mancha- intensifies educational inequalities affecting children and adolescents. This paper is part of a broader research project (TsecRural-CLM) that explores how students and teachers perceive vulnerability and educational inequality in rural contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach, with a predominant qualitative approach, the study involved classroom-based questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and focus groups, conducted in high schools in Castilla-La Mancha. The findings reveal four key dimensions: a limited educational offer, tensions between feelings of rootedness and mobility, fragile educational trajectories, and the resilient role of the rural community. It is concluded that there is a violation of the right to education, based on centralized decision-making and limited territorial investment. A promotion of public policies grounded in territorial justice, aimed at strengthening educational continuity and recognizing the value of rural communities is proposed.
