Abstract. The article analyzes the teachers᾿ readiness to work in field of inclusive education. It is emphasized that in the context of educational reforms, the question of the feasibility of introducing inclusive education has become acute. This involves educating children with disabilities in comprehensive schools and kindergartens ‒ together with peers who are developing normally. According to the content of the modern national education model, it is assumed that the number of people with disabilities who get educational services in public institutions will increase. At the same time, in accordance with the national action strategy in the interests of children, it is planned to reduce the number of children with disabilities who remained outside the education system, for some objective reasons. Accordingly, it requires new demands on teachers, requires the expansion of their functional responsibilities, changes in professionally significant and personal characteristics. Modern society makes new demands on teachers ‒ the willingness and ability to teach all children without exceptions, regardless of their inclinations, abilities and disabilities. At the same time, the widespread use of a new category of children in kindergartens and secondary schools has led to changes in the teachers᾿ working conditions. The range of teachers᾿ pedagogical interests has significantly expanded. There is a social demand for updating the content of professional training, which includes issues of inclusive education. As a result of the conducted empirical research showed mostly the average, and also low readiness level for work in the inclusive education conditions. The respondents revealed interest in the education problems and raising children with disabilities together with their healthy peers, but just a small number of teachers are willing to work in these conditions. The reason is the lack of knowledges about the peculiarities of the children development, their special educational needs and the pace of progress in the educational process.

The article analyzes the historical stages of inclusive education in the United States: the first – 1960 – the stage of segregation and marginalization of people with special educational needs, the second (from 1968 to 1975) – the stage of normalization, the idea of involving disabled students in the educational environment, the third stage – educational mainstreaming (1975–1983), the fourth stage – (1983–2004) – inclusive education characterized by joint training of people with special needs with peers using typical development, the fifth –mixed educational system – a comprehensive inclusive education system starting in 2004 and until now in the United States.It was determined that the definition of “special educational needs” (learning disability), means developmental delay, disorder of one or more processes related to speaking, reading, pronunciation, writing or arithmetic abilities as a result of possible cerebral dysfunction, but not in the result of mental disorders, loss of sensitivity, cultural, educational or upbringing factors. It has been found that disorder or disability is not one specific concept, but often a mixture of disorders grouped under one broad term, and inclusive education is seen as “the process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of students by ensuring their participation in learning, cultural activities and community life and reducing exclusion in education and the learning process”. Now intellectual level is determined by using standard intelligence tests, mostly Stanford-Binet, that allows to use individualized curricula as a basis for teaching children with disabilities in inclusive settings. But it is still clear that even in such circumstances, the problems of inclusive education remain to be complex and ambiguous. Keywords: special educational needs, children with disabilities, inclusive environment, inclusion, child with special educational needs, inclusive education, state acts, US general education system.

There is currently a trend towards an increase in the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools. Thus, the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools is growing. This is caused both by significant changes in the legal regulatory framework, including the 2012 Federal Law on Education, the adoption of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for Children with Special Needs, etc. and by the fact that in some regions the number of specialized schools is decreasing, inclusive education becomes a more affordable option for children with special education needs. School specialists, parents, and the public engage in an active dialogue about choosing the most efficient path for an educational route for special needs children, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of inclusive and special education. The design and implementation of an individual educational route, an individual curriculum is essential for children with special needs in terms of improving the quality of education and efficiently entering social life. The relevance of the study is determined by identifying the components that facilitate and complicate, hinder the development and implementation of an individual educational route for these children in an educational organization; the determination of the content of an individual educational route based on the current situation in a practical institution considering the requirements of inclusive education. The purpose of the study is to explore the problems of developing and implementing individual educational routes for children with special needs in the context of inclusion and to determine ways to solve these problems. The key methods of the study are a questionnaire and a structured interview. The empirical data confirms the assumption that the development and implementation of an individual educational route for children with special needs in an educational organization are problematic and inefficient for several reasons. The data obtained is new since similar research results have not been found in the open sources over the past five years.

The article is devoted to the issues of improving the administrative and legal regulation of inclusive education in institutions of preschool education and secondary education instituions in Ukraine. Addressing this topic is certainly relevant due to the fact that, firstly, inclusive education is a new institution for Ukrainian society and a real challenge for children, teachers and the legislator. Secondly, in the science of domestic administrative law there is no comprehensive study of Ukrainian sources of law in the field of inclusive education, which would also fully identify the challenges of this field. Thirdly, administrative and legal acts in the field of inclusive education, unfortunately, do not correspond to reality, have gaps in both the field of law and in the field of pedagogy. The authors set themselves the following tasks: to analyze the sources of law governing relations arising in the field of inclusive education in Ukraine; highlight the current challenges of the inclusive education in Ukraine and make suggestions on ways to overcome them. The methodology of this article includes: the method of analysis and synthesis, the systemic and functional approach, the historical method, abstraction, the comparative method, explanations, research interviews, modeling and forecasting methods. So, the authors of the article translated and studied the legislation of the State of Israel as a progressive country in the field of inclusion. To achieve the main goal of the research it was also conducted a survey among the heads of educational institutions in the city of Odessa, where currently inclusive groups or classes are functioning. This has identified challenges such as gaps in the most legally established procedure for opening inclusive groups and classes; providing schools and kindergartens with assistants who should help educators /teachers and children with special educational needs; the question of the number of children with special educational needs in a group or class and the nature of nosologies. Having studied each of the challenges in detail, the authors proposed appropriate changes and additions to the current legislation, which are detailed in the comparative tables. The conclusions of the article can be used both in research work for the further development of Ukrainian administrative law and in national lawmaking by making appropriate changes to Ukrainian legislation and the adoption of relevant legal acts regulating important issues in the field of inclusive education.

Inclusive education requires constant creative contribution from everyone; all its participants (teachers, parents, children, administration, etc.) are involved in the creative process of education. For the successful implementation of inclusive education of children with special needs, changes in the education system itself are needed. The difficulty in solving the problem of working with children with disabilities is exacerbated by the professional incompetence of specialists of educational institutions, a lack of understanding in society of the possibilities of such children, who participate equally in society.

The article reviews one of actual and debatable problems in modern education – inclusive education of children with special educational needs. Timeliness and relevance of the study at the moment of writing the scientific article has been justified. The purpose of the study is to reveal the separate issues of potential readiness of teachers of institutions of general secondary education of Chernihiv region for the introduction of inclusive education. Analysis was conducted for achievements of scientists, who studied different aspects of teachers’ readiness for professional activity and forming the professional competence within the inclusive education. Potential professional readiness of teachers at general secondary educational institutions was demonstrated via two main indicators: professional readiness and psychological readiness. It was found that level of emotional perception is higher than level of theoretical readiness to include children with special needs in educational process – not to mention the practical experience of work with such categories of students. The emphasis is on avoiding the risks during introduction of inclusive education in Ukraine (formal inclusion, «strong-willed inclination», «spontaneous», uncontrolled inclusion). Analysis was conducted for results of studying the teachers at general secondary educational institutions of Chernihiv region. Recommendations were provided on training and retraining of teachers at general secondary educational institutions – for their adequate preparation within realities of Ukrainian school. This is development and implementation of training discipline for students of higher pedagogical education, as part of their work with children having special educational needs. It also includes advanced training courses for teachers, regarding the peculiarities of work with children having special educational needs – within the framework of inclusive education.

An interdisciplinary study examines the problems of implementing the concept of inclusive education in the education system of the Republic of Tatarstan. An urgent problem is the lack of training of teachers of General education organizations to work with children with disabilities who have special educational needs, which makes it necessary to form professional competencies of teachers related to the development of the ability to design and implement innovative technologies of educational and correctional work aimed at achieving educational results. The purpose of the study was to identify the opinions of teachers about the difficulties of implementing the concept of inclusive education in the national educational system and their readiness to be active in the new conditions. The object of the author's research was chosen pedagogical discourse. Written works (essays) of primary school teachers and subject teachers were used as a communication space reflecting pedagogical discourse. Discourse analysis was used as the main research method. The results of the analysis of pedagogical discourse confirmed the research hypothesis about the lack of training of teachers of the General education system to work with children with disabilities and indicate that the common problem of all teachers is the lack of positive motivation to work; lack of special knowledge about the organization of the educational process; practical skills necessary to work with children with special educational needs. The research data presented in the article give grounds to say that the Republican education system should create conditions for the development of inclusive practices using the network interaction of educational organizations, health and social protection institutions, constant methodological support for teachers, innovative teaching experience.

Problem setting. The modern world is characterized by rapid changes towards democracy, which have a positive impact on the humanitarian component of society. Education reforms are affected by many negative factors, including unstable political and economic situation in the country, and 2020 introduced the concept of “pandemic learning” into the educational process, which certainly did not improve the overall situation. However, despite these problems in the field of education, the issue of involvement of children with mental and physical disabilities into the educational environment of Ukraine remains extremely important. This trend of integration of children with mental and physical disabilities into the educational environment is relevant around the world, but in Ukraine attention has been paid and appropriate steps has been taken to improve the critical educational situation for this category of children only in the last few years. Also, the Association Agreement with the EU, which came into force in 2017, prompted the government to take certain steps for political, economic, social and cultural reforming of all spheres of life that affect the quality of provision and receipt of educational services. Recent research and publications analysis. Elaboration of theoretical and methodical basics of inclusive education can be found in the works by: N. Bastun, S. Bohdanova, L. Zdanevych, T. Zubarieva, E. Ketrysh, T. Kozhekina, K. Kolchenko, O. Kuzmina, T. Kuchai, N. Lalak, O. Lesher, O. Martynova, G. Onykovych, M. Semago, N. Semago, I. Smirnova, N. Sofiy, M. Tomchuk, N. Shmatko, O. Yarska-Smirnova, etc.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Analysis of current legislation and scientific literature allows us to conclude that inclusive education in Ukraine opens up great opportunities for children/people with special educational needs, but is not explored fully. These sources emphasize that creation of optimal conditions for qualitative education for children with mental and physical disabilities has its social, economic and psychological characteristics and problems, which are quite complex and require further research and development. That is why there is a need to work systematically and purposefully on introduction of inclusive process in educational institutions to implement the right to education of every citizen of Ukraine. Paper main body. The article considers specific features of introduction of inclusive education in Ukraine in the context of European integration. Dynamics of implementation of inclusive education in the context of education system reform is analyzed. Components of preparation to implementation of the inclusion process both for teachers and for children with special educational needs and main problems of the educational environment were considered. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Analysis of development of inclusive education in Ukraine indicates a positive trend in the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in comprehensive schools, as indicated by the dynamics from 2720 pupils in the 2015 – 2016 school year to 18643 pupils in the 2019 – 2020 school year. Opening of 638 inclusive resource centers is an important step towards introduction of inclusive education not only in big cities but also in the regions. However, existing economic (ensuring architectural accessibility of interiors, accessibility of appropriate transport and transport infrastructure for children/persons with mental and physical disabilities, campuses, sports and cultural facilities, dormitories, etc.) and social (complex process of socialization both for children with special educational needs (as well as their family members) and for relatively healthy children; change of psychological and value attitudes of teachers and increase of their professional competencies in an inclusive form of education, etc.) problems are complicated by partial or complete distance learning during a pandemic, and solving these problems will facilitate the reception of educational services by the specified category of citizens of Ukraine.
