The article is devoted to the issue of adaptation under the conditions of inclusive education of children with disabilities in a unified educational space, which is an irreversible process at the present stage of the development of society and its humanistic values. It is established that the realization of these conditions requires breaking down some stereotypes and mastering new forms of work by all participants of the educational process.  It is revealed that the education of children with disabilities in the conditions of mass secondary educational institutions is an acute problem for the Ukrainian state, which is experiencing the stage of becoming an insufficient perception of pedagogical innovation not only by parents but also by the teachers themselves. The education of children with needs of physical and mental development correction is based on the principles of balanced pedagogy, focused on the needs of children, which requires a certain level of staffing of specialists of a special profile, means, and conditions for providing psychological and pedagogical assistance.  It is emphasized that inclusive education is useful for children with special educational needs (with disabilities) as well as for children with typical development, family members and society as a whole. It is established that the practice of "involving" children with disabilities should be an integral part of national plans to achieve education for all without restrictions, and the organization of conditions for the adaptation of children with disabilities – an integral part of the pedagogical strategy and, undoubtedly, a new social and economic policy. It is argued that this requires a pivotal reform of secondary schools.

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.

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).

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.

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.
