Class teachers are the main resource to reach the goal of implementation of inclusive education in mainstream educational institutions. There will be different views and actions of teachers in any educational institution and we should not expect that everybody think and act in the same way. To implement inclusion in school a lot depends on teachers’ attitudes toward pupils with different needs, on whether teachers have necessary skills, competences, knowledge, pedagogical approaches, techniques, methods, materials that help to deal with diversity, whether a teacher has the necessary support inside and outside the school. In the article the issues of how teachers of mainstream schools in Latvia judge their ability to be inclusive; what challenges they see in their work and what kind of solutions they see on local and national level are emphasized. The article describes the overview study done by the author and it presents the findings and results of the study, the resolution of the scientific conference „Teacher in Inclusive Education” to promote implementation of inclusive education on national level supported by the participants of the conference.

Исследовано три решения проблематики нелинейного процесса организации доступа в АИС образовательного спектра. Определены ключевые причины появления затруднений с использованием автоматизированных информационных систем и проведен анализ существующих средств и методик, которые применяются при организации взаимодействия между пользователями и АИС. Статья объясняет, каким образом можно упростить доступ к АИС путем использования принципов декомпозиции и иерархичности. В реализации указано, какой может быть структура АИС типового образовательного учреждения. Проведено сравнение преимуществ и недостатков разных систем бухгалтерского, управленческого, хозяйственно-экономического учета с точки зрения интеграции в работу высших учебных заведений. Отдельное внимание уделено анализу механизмов и особенностей взаимодействия между подсистемами АИС и базой данных на примере проведения аттестационных мероприятий. На основании изученных аспектов функционирования АИС сделан вывод о недостаточности использования вузами локальных систем и необходимости разработки и последующей интеграции персонализированных высокотехнологичных решений, которые позволят увеличить эффективность образовательной деятельности. В перспективах показано, какие задачи можно поставить перед собой, чтобы внедрить дополнительные аспекты декомпозиции и иерархичности в аналогичных системах We investigate three solutions to the problem of the nonlinear process of organizing access to the AIS of the educational spectrum. We identified the key reasons for the emergence of difficulties with the use of automated information systems and carried out the analysis of existing tools and techniques that are used in organizing interaction between users and AIS. We explained in what way we can simplify the access to AIS by using the principles of decomposition and hierarchy. The implementation indicates what the structure of the AIS of a typical educational institution can be. We carried out comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different systems of accounting, managerial economic and economic accounting from the point of view of integration into the work of higher educational institutions. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the mechanisms and features of the interaction between the AIS subsystems and the database on the example of carrying out certification activities. On the basis of the studied aspects of the functioning of the AIS, we made a conclusion about the insufficient use of local systems by universities and the need for the development and subsequent integration of personalized high-tech solutions that will increase the efficiency of educational activities. The perspectives show what tasks you can set in order to implement additional aspects of decomposition and hierarchy in similar systems

In historical point of view every human generation learn some standard practices in upbringing from previous generations but create new. In contemporary pedagogy this processes are connected with two basic educational functions – conservative and progressive. Conservatism represent save and continuation of traditional practices in upbringing chiefly in family and educational institutions but according to progressive idea this practices have to be partial or completely changed. This change is important condition for adaptation on children to the present and the future. On the other hand, all this can generate series of contradictions and paradoxes in actions on basic upbringing factors – family and educational institution. In this article the author examine some dysfunctions of educational practices on this factors, as refusal to execute their basic functions, evade responsibility, don’t attach importance to main social problems, inefficient educational practices and so on.

RESUMEN El propósito de esta investigación es estudiar la relación existente entre la calidad percibida y la calidad esperada desde las percepciones de los estudiantes en cuatro instituciones educativas de Huamanga, Ayacucho. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo correlacional y comparativo de medias con la finalidad de determinar, primero, si existía relación entre las variables. En  segundo lugar, verificar si se producían   diferencias significativas entre las mismas. El análisis correlacional nos permitió identificar procesos o patrones existentes en el mundo de las percepciones con respecto a la relación entre las variables; así como el análisis de diferencia de medias nos proporcionó evidencias de la evaluación general de la calidad del servicio educativo que se brinda en dichas instituciones. El estudio fue realizado a dos niveles: el general, considerando las cuatro instituciones educativas como grupo y el desagregado, por cada institución educativa. La muestra estuvo conformada por 339 estudiantes, correspondientes a cuatro instituciones educativas emblemáticas de la ciudad de Huamanga, Ayacucho. Los instrumentos de medición de las variables calidad percibida y calidad esperada, presentan una fuerte confiabilidad y cada uno de sus ítems muestra una alta consistencia interna. Descriptivamente, los resultados muestran que, para el 54% de los estudiantes encuestados, la calidad percibida es menor o igual que la media y para el 46% la calidad percibida es alta o muy alta. Respecto a la calidad esperada, el 27.2% espera una calidad baja o media, mientras que el 72.8% espera que sea alta o muy alta. En otras palabras, más de la mitad percibe una calidad baja o igual a la media y casi tres cuartas partes esperan una mejor calidad de la que están recibiendo. Por otro lado, en la evaluación de la calidad general del servicio (calidad percibida menos calidad esperada) se encuentra que para el 71% de estudiantes, la calidad es deficiente, ya que no llegan a percibirla como esperan, mientras que para el 29% la calidad es buena o excelente porque obtienen una calidad igual o que excede lo esperado. Desde el punto vista inferencial, se demuestra que existe una correlación moderada, positiva y significativa entre las variables calidad percibida y esperada. Sin embargo, al analizar dividiendo al grupo en valoraciones de la calidad percibida sobre y bajo la media, se encuentra que no existe correlación significativa entre las dos variables en el caso de estudiantes que valoran por debajo de la media. Por otro lado,  existe correlación positiva y significativa en el grupo de los alumnos que valoran por sobre la media. Este dato tiene enormes implicancias para los procesos de mejoramiento de la calidad. La diferencia de medias entre las variables es altamente significativa y con mayor valor hacia lo esperado que a lo percibido. Esto implica que la calidad del servicio educativo es significativamente deficiente.  ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation was to study the relationship between perceived quality and expected quality of student’s perceptions from four educational institutions of Huamanga, Ayacucho. Correlational descriptive analyses and comparison of means were applied with the aim to determine if there was any relationship or any significant differences between the variables. Correlational analyses allowed identifying the processes or patterns in the world of perceptions about the relationship between variables and analysis of mean difference provided us with evidence of the overall assessment of the quality of education that is offered in these educational institutions. The study was conducted at two levels: the studies of a general nature which considered the four educational institutions and the disaggregated study on each educational institution. The sample consisted of 339 students, corresponding to four emblematic educational institutions of Huamanga, Ayacucho. The perceived quality and expected quality variables measuring instruments have a strong reliability and each of its items shows high internal consistency. Descriptively, the results show that for the 54% of students surveyed,  the perceived quality is less than or equal to the average, and for the 46% perceived quality is high or higher than the  expected quality ,, the perceptions of the  27.2% of students  about quality service received is  from  low to medium, while the 72.8% expected to be high or very high. In other words, more than half students perceived a lower quality or equal to the average and almost three-quarters expect a better quality than the one they are receiving. On the other hand, the evaluation of the overall quality of service (perceived quality minus expected quality) shows that for the 71% of students, the quality is deficient because they don’t get to perceive the quality they expect, while for the 29% the quality is good or excellent because they get an equal quality or exceed expectations.From the inferential point of view, it shows there’s a moderate correlation, positive and significant relationship between perceived and expected quality variables. However, the analysis by dividing the group in perceived quality variable ratings above and below the average shows that there’s no significant correlation between the two variables in the case of students who value below average. Instead, there’s a positive and significant correlation in the group of students who value above average. This fact has enormous implications for the processes of quality improvement. The mean difference among the variables is highly significant and greater value to the expected than the perceived. This implies that the educational service quality is significantly deficient.

The perspective from the parents of non-university students is essential in determining inclusive education in a school. The Index of Inclusion is one of the most widely used self-assessment tools and strategies to help teaching teams self-assess their political cultures and practices from the perspective of the values and principles of educational inclusion worldwide. For this reason, the present study intends to show evidence of validity of the Index for Inclusion questionnaire for parents of non-university education students, in a quantitative way, through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In this study, 108 fathers and 500 mothers took part, aged between 21 and 62 years (M = 43.59; SD = 6.64), whose children belonged to educational institutions throughout Spain. The results revealed adequate adjustment rates, showing invariant structure with respect to sex. The Index for Inclusion for families of non-university education students was shown to be a robust and adequate psychometric instrument to assess the degree of development of inclusive education in educational institutions from the perspective of the parents of said student body. The family is a basic pillar in the education of children and a reference for them. In addition, parents of non-university education students are configured as fundamental participatory elements of the child’s educational institution thus; making the family a fundamental element that favors inclusive education. Precisely because of all this, the future administration of this questionnaire (to the parents of these students) is recommended.

This article is devoted to issues of national tax system effectiveness and overcoming existing problems with it. Under the current conditions, taxes are the integral lever of government influence on the countrys market economy. As a result, the level of development of the national economy and the conditions in its social sphere are directly influenced by the state of the tax system. The author considers it possible to ascertain the efficiency of the tax system in the broadest sense, namely as an aggregate level of achievement, by its goals. Those goals are set in accordance with the functions of taxation. However, when they are realized, significant disparities and even narrowed interpretations of functions arise. As a result, the existing tax system is flawed and unable to achieve high operational efficiency. As one of the most important problems, the author singles out the problem of incomplete fiscal performance due to insufficient tax discipline arising from a low level of tax culture. The author offers a proprietary interpretation of the factors influencing the specific actions of tax decision makers. From the point of view of tax culture, they are divided into factions that make up the tax culture, factions formed and determined by the prevailing tax culture, and others developed under the influence of alternate circumstances. The author considers the most complete and logical understanding of tax culture to be the level of citizen awareness of the importance of taxes as a source of financing the existence of the state and the performance of its functions. With this interpretation, it is justified to assume that citizens compare the degree of decline in their levels and quality of life due to their taxes, and increases in the quality of their lives by means of the implementation of social and other public functions. The prevalence of the latter leads to increased tax disciplineand the former to its decrease. Although these assessments are always subjective, they can serve as bases for the formation of objective directions for improving the activities of tax authorities and educational institutions and, by extension, the tax discipline of citizens and the business community. The effects are economically measurable and long-term.

The concept of inclusive education puts all educational institutions in front of new tasks in which the role of teachers and other important educator’s changes in line with the demands of education policies. Attitudes determine people's behavior and they are formed on the basis of different factors. In the context of inclusive education, the positive attitudes of teachers and other educators towards implementation and providing inclusive education is a key prerequisite for a successful inclusion process at the level of school practice. The aim of this paper is to present teachers' attitudes towards the inclusion process in elementary schools. The results of this research have highlighted the importance and role of teachers at the level of teaching in the inclusion process. The results also represent some other important areas in which teachers can contribute to raise the quality of the inclusion process in all its dimensions. Within the educational system and the pedagogical sense of meaning, reducing the differences in everyday practice means accepting differences among students as an incent in the process of teaching and learning, and not as an obstacle.
