The process of socialisation and integration represents unity, and at the same time – a continuous controversy between two aspects: socialisation and individuality. Due to this, the process is a single upside stream – the entry of a child into the world of adults, in the social world. Every child is a unique personality with its individual qualities, interests, abilities and educational needs. Every child with special educational needs has the right to be taught on an individual schedule with content, matching its own necessities and capacity. The general education kindergarten, in which the authors work and teach pupils with special educational needs has established a tolerant community and guarantees schooling, tutoring and mentorship for everybody.

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.

  El Informe Warnock y la Declaración de Salamanca, establecieron criterios estandarizados sobre conceptos y requerimientos mínimos para una enseñanza homogénea de los centros educativos para las personas con Necesidades Educativas Especiales (NEE). Las NEE dentro de la normativa en Chile, se clasifican en Necesidades Educativas Especiales Permanentes y Transitorias. Las cuales, mediante Decretos, Leyes y acuerdos internacionales, los niños, niñas y adolescentes tienen el derecho de una educación de calidad, tendiendo en consideración las características particulares que pueden presentar los estudiantes, este acompañamiento puede ser transitorio y/o permanente. De esta manera, se busca que, a través de la Educación Especial, el alumnado obtenga herramientas necesarias para su utilización en contextos sociales y laborales. Sin embargo, desde la Educación Física en contextos escolares, se evidencia poca preparación o conocimiento de las características de las NEE que presente un estudiante por parte del profesor de Educación Física, si bien, en distintas universidades se encuentra la asignatura que dote a los estudiantes de pedagogía de herramientas y competencias para el trabajo con escolares con NEE, se evidencia que existe una falta de componentes teóricos y prácticos para trabajar con NEE. Finalmente, se invita a la reflexión para la utilización de actividades físico – deportivas o motrices adaptadas, las cuales podrían permitir ser una herramienta complementaria e inclusiva en la clase de Educación Física escolar.  Abstract. The Warnock Report and the Salamanca Declaration established standardized criteria on concepts and minimum requirements for a homogeneous teaching of educational centers for people with Special Educational Needs (SEN). SEN within the regulations in Chile are classified as Permanent and Transitory Special Educational Needs. Which, through Decrees, Laws and international agreements, children and adolescents have the right to a quality education, taking into consideration the characteristics that students may present, this accompaniment may be transitory and / or permanent. In this way, it is sought that, through Special Education, students obtain the necessary tools for their use in social and work contexts. However, from Physical Education in school contexts, little preparation, or knowledge of the characteristics of SEN presented by a student is evidenced by the Physical Education teacher, although, in different universities there is the subject that provides students pedagogy of tools and competencies for working with schoolchildren with SEN, it is evident that there is a lack of theoretical and practical components to work with SEN. Finally, reflection is invited for the use of adapted physical - sports or motor activities, which could allow them to be a complementary and inclusive tool in the school Physical Education class.

Abstract One of the measures of the quality of education system is equal access to the education opportunity to enable learning for everyone. In the recent years, multiple conventions, declarations, announcements and resolutions regarding inclusive education have been approved internationally and included in the Latvian law of education. Nevertheless, even with the abundant amount of data and previous research results, the introduction and provision of inclusive education in practice has been controversial. The main focus has been placed on child inclusion within the educational system, but support for teachers and parents or legal guardians has not always been sufficient. For inclusive education to be truly successful, all involved parties should be receiving adequate support. Aim of the present study: analysis and evaluation of the present state of inclusive education framework and its success within the Latvian educational system. Materials and methods: literature review, survey. Conclusions: Inclusion of children with special educational needs in the inclusive education framework is a complicated pedagogical and psychological process requiring a specific attitude and preparedness of the education professionals, school staff, parents, children and society as a whole.

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) .

<p>The education of children with special educational needs (SEN) has been a focus of international inquiry. There is a strong advocacy for the inclusion of children with SEN in regular schools although this remains contentious and challenging. Despite an emphasis by the Kenyan government that children with SEN should be included in regular schooling, there has not been substantial investigation especially in rural settings on how these children can receive quality education. This thesis seeks to address this issue by exploring the perspectives of educationists, teachers and parents on the quality of education offered to children with SEN in the era of free primary education in a rural setting. A qualitative interpretive approach to research was used to generate data through interviews with government officials, teachers and parents, focus group discussions with regular teachers and observations in three schools spread over three rural districts. Thematic analysis was employed in analysing the data. A critical theory approach focussing on social justice and rights of children as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was used as a lens. The findings revealed that despite policy articulation, children with SEN occupied the role of “others” in schools and the society and were described in negative terms. Participants, especially regular staff and parents were emphatic that children with SEN required “experts” and “special” resources both of which were not available in regular schools. The participants felt that the available curriculum was relevant for “normal” children and therefore could not meet the educational needs of children with SEN. The broad conclusion drawn from this study is that there is need to distinctly define the terms inclusive education, special education and mainstream education in a way that the core stakeholders can understand, interpret and implement within their contexts. Designing a means of progress monitoring other than national examinations may help motivate both regular teachers and parents to see the need to have children with SEN in regular schools. There is need for further investigation on how regular teachers can be persuaded from existing beliefs that they are not qualified to teach children with SEN and how to convince parents that their children are worthy of an education.</p>
