In the context of the search for an education that shapes individuals capable of addressing current and future needs, this study was conducted with the objective of critically reflecting on equity and diversity in the classrooms of educational institutions in Latin America. The purpose was to obtain an overview that would determine whether these notions remain as ideals, have become mere intentions, or are already being reflected in the reality of these countries. To achieve this, a documentary review was carried out from a methodological perspective, using a bibliographic design and applying a content analysis matrix as a tool to address the categories related to the topic in scientific publications of the last 5 years. These publications were obtained through searches in scientific database access tools. As a result of this study, some concluding reflections were reached. It is observed that, while there is progress from the illusion and intention of nations towards a practice of equity and diversity in the classrooms, the ultimate goal of achieving full integration of both notions still remains in the realm of illusion. This is because, upon analyzing the studied overviews, there is no evidence of a complete and definitive consolidation of these ideas.
