Educational Inclusion

Inclusive education has begun to be addressed within the context of the broader international debate on “Education for All” (EFA), a debate launched at the World Conference held in 1990 in Jomtien, Thailand. From Jomtien until today , thinking has evolved from the almost symbolic presence of special educational needs in the initial documentation, towards the recognition that inclusion must be a fundamental principle of the EFA movement as a whole. Within this process, the contribution of the Salamanca Declaration on Special Educational Needs: Access and quality (Unesco, 1994) stands out, from which the concept of educational inclusion emerges strongly. Thereafter thescope and perspectives of inclusive education has been based on the idea that all children and young people have the right to a quality education with equivalent learning opportunities, regardless of their social and cultural background and their differences in skills and abilities (OIE -UNESCO, 20 08) .

Educational Inclusion

Implementation and educational inclusion in school is a relevant topic for pedagogical and social context because it implies the acceptance and appreciation of differences among children as incentives, rather than obstacles in the process of teaching and learning. On the UNESCO World Conference concerning Special Educational Needs held in 1994, Statement and Framework for Action were adopted, which promote the right of every child to be involved in the educational system, and in regular schools, regardless of their physical, intellectual, emotional, social, linguistic or other conditions. The term special educational need in this context does not exclusively refer to children with disabilities. The concept of inclusive education with the meaning of inclusion of all children in compulsory education extends and deepens the educational model of integration of children with disabilities in regular education. The introduction and implementation of inclusion in schools becomes the requirement of contemporary educational policies of Europe and the world, whereby the changing of schools in order to achieve educational inclusion is conditional on changing the entire educational practice (Mittler, 2006). This paper will show some of the assumptions that are crucial for the implementation of inclusion in schools with special emphasis on the role of activities of teachers as key participants in the process of inclusive school.

The article describes the prerequisites for the creation and implementation of an inclusive educational environment in higher education settings in Ukraine. Contradictions have been identified between the legal framework governing higher education for students with special educational needs and the lack of appropriate physical and psychological conditions for the realization of the right to education, and the contradiction between the existence of a tendency to integrate the educational process and the need to individualize the educational process. It is determined that the state of development of inclusive education in Ukraine is characterized by insufficient development of both social and acmeological mechanisms of interaction of key figures of the educational process. The types of inclusive education implemented by higher education institutions are described. The experience of implementation of inclusive educational policy at Lviv Polytechnic National University and the University "Ukraine" is considered. The author's development of the model of acmeological interaction of participants of the inclusive process in the inclusive educational environment is presented, and the criteria and indicators of evaluation of the interaction of the participants of the inclusive process in the inclusive educational environment are explained. It was found that a serious obstacle to the introduction of inclusive higher education in Ukraine is the lack of financial capacity of universities: there is no equipped environment, there are no special programs aimed at such education. Conclusions are made regarding the importance of acmeological interaction of participants in the inclusive process in an inclusive educational environment, which is not only to improve the situation of students with special educational needs but also to create positive aspects of social development in general.

Educational Inclusion

In the field of education we observe many positive changes in equalising educational opportunities for children and young people with disabilities. The most important changes have led to the inclusive paradigm which posits education of disabled children together with children with special educational needs. The article deals with issues related to educational inclusion, variously understood by parents of disabled children. Parents experiencing the disability of their children tend to normalize their lives, including education in a mainstream kindergarten. When talking about their children’s education, they unveiled personal meanings given to this event, showed their individual truths and the reality they experience. The stories they told were given a subjective meaning, which from their perspective is important and shapes their being.

Research Results

The principles of inclusive education have been orientating the ways of working with children and young people with special educational needs for many years. Nevertheless, it is difficult to change the process of modifying the teachers’ thinking about a student with disabilities or deficits in the aspect of teaching him in a state school. In 2017, legal acts in Poland were modified to provide psychological and pedagogical assistance to pupils with special educational needs. However, the Ombudsman for Children received many letters from parents of students who gave examples of violations of their rights at school. Therefore, in 2018 a survey was conducted among parents on the difficulties encountered by their children while studying at school. The research results revealed some irregularities both in the aspect of teaching methods which were applied to children and the cooperation of teachers with parents and other specialists. On this basis, it was possible to identify barriers to inclusive education in Polish schools.

Educational Inclusion

Both internationally and nationally there is an ongoing debate on the benefits of including children with special educational needs in the educational structures alongside their peers. School integration of children with special educational needs creates discussions, disputes, but it is a tendency throughout the world. Inclusive education encompasses this discussion and, in addition, the orientation towards quality and efficiency of the entire educational system, formal and non-formal. Some parents, specialists and even people with disabilities argue that a person who is prevented from participating with his or her peers in general schools is denied the fundamental right to education. Others, on the contrary, assert that by integrating into the general schools many children with special needs are not assured of meeting their needs. Therefore, these different opinions and circumstances have influenced the purpose of the present paper; that consists in the deeper study of awareness and practices in the field of educational inclusion of children with special educational needs (SEN) at school and community level.

The Right

A child is a member of a vulnerable group in societies. Children's rights are equal for all children and they cannot be denied, because they are a birthright. However, throughout the world, children with disabilities and their families constantly experience a barrier in regard to the enjoyment of their basic human rights and to their inclusion in society. Their abilities are overlooked, their capacities are underestimated and their needs are given low priority. The barriers they face are more frequently a result of the environment in which they live rather than a result of their impairment. The situation began to change only when requirements to include disabled children in the education system were introduced in legislation. Following the example of other countries worldwide, the Republic of North Macedonia introduced inclusion of children with disabilities in the mainstream educational process, because the right to education is a right for all children, including the ones with special educational needs. For this purpose, the Republic of North Macedonia implemented a series of changes in the educational system for successful inclusion of children with special educational needs. Hence, the main aim of our paper is to represent the actual situation in Macedonian schools regarding the problem of educational inclusion of students with disabilities in the regular school system. The research methods are based on document studies and case studies about changes in social and educational policies for students with disabilities and special educational needs who are included in primary and secondary education. At the same time we shall present some guidelines for teachers who work with these children and future directions for a proper inclusion system in the Republic of North Macedonia, because every child has a fundamental right to education and must be given the opportunity to achieve and reach an acceptable level of learning. In this frame, school societies try to support full participation of students with disabilities in areas of their lives on equal terms, conditions, social justice and basic human rights.

This article considers the implementation of the right to higher education for learners with special needs in Lithuania. Although this right is guaranteed by various international documents and national legal acts, the main responsibility to ensure equality in higher education for all learners is embedded in the discretion of higher education institutions. The aim of this article is to analyse Lithuanian legal regulation regarding inclusion of students with special needs into higher education institutions and to evaluate Lithuanian university policies, as institutional documents, concerning students with special educational needs. A brief overview and comparison of all Lithuanian HEI policies illustrates the institutional approach towards educating students with SEN and the level of attentiveness to realization of their right to education. The research also considers pivotal challenges of ensuring inclusive education for those students as well as presents recommendations to address these challenges.
