The ontology of educational planning guarantees equal and equitable access to education, as it centers on the human being and their pursuit of fulfilling individual and collective needs, tailored to the specific contexts of the educational system. Therefore, accessibility is not limited to mere architectural adjustments; rather, it contributes to creating inclusive conditions for access to knowledge, science, technology, culture, and other components included in the planning. Regarding the methodological design, the study was conducted following the positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach. The data collection technique was a survey, and the instrument was a fifteen (15) item questionnaire administered to forty-one (41) teachers working at the Esteban Martínez Evening High School, the Manoguayabo Night High School, and the Ad Maiora Educational Center, all located in the Dominican Republic. Statistical analysis revealed an educational reality characterized by significant progress toward inclusivity, but also by structural inconsistencies that hinder the consolidation of fully accessible planning grounded in ontological principles. Based on the data presented, it was concluded that ontology, as the foundation of lesson planning, informs the rationale for accessibility and promoting a humanistic model focused on the stakeholders within the educational system.
