Abstract Children and students with functional disorders are one of the target groups of the inclusive education. Students with functional disorders can adapt in general education schools faster if their intellectual development is within the normal range. This group usually consists of disabled students, but they are able to master general education programmes successfully with an assistant’s support. The purpose of the article is to explore the problems of assistants’ support for students with functional disorders in general education schools. Adaptation of these students to general education schools would facilitate their development and enable them to undertake further studies not only in vocational education, but also in higher educational institutions. Assistant’s support would promote the adaptation of these students to the class environment and ease the daily life of their parents. Having assessed the current situation, the authors conclude that the assistant’s support will be effective if the assistant’s functions and roles are recognized and if training of assistants for students with functional disorders in general education schools is ensured.

The author analyzes the domestic and foreign experience of working with children with special educational needs. The following approaches are described: expanding access to education (its main goal is to expand educational opportunities for people with mental and physical disabilities, ethnic minorities, and people from disadvantaged sections of society), mainstreaming (this approach implies that children with disabilities communicate with their peers on holidays, during their leisure time), integration (means bringing the needs of children with mental and physical disorders into line with the habitual traditional education system), and inclusiveness (it is such an educational activity when people with limitations and needs can be trained together with people without any disabilities). The program for helping children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which is used in educational institutions in Norway, is considered; it includes the following: technology for the dissemination of knowledge among parents and professionals, inclusive education technology for children with different developmental abnormalities (ADHD, Turrett syndrome, Asperger syndrome, mental retardation) in the system of general education, technology for diagnosing ADHD varieties and comorbid disorders.

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.

With the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN General Assembly Resolution 6/106, adopted at 61 session of the UN General Assembly, 2006), the Law of Ukraine No. 176-VI dated December 13, 2009 approved a number of legislative acts. Thus, the Convention on the Development of Inclusive Education, approved by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated 10.10.2010 No. 912 states that inclusive education is a complex process of ensuring equal access to quality education for children with special educational needs by organizing their education in general educational institutions based on the application of personally oriented teaching methods, taking into account the individual peculiarities of educational and cognitive activity of such children. The solution of the problem of organizing inclusive education in general educational institutions of Ukraine is aimed at fulfilling the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which led to intensification of scientific research. In this direction, textbooks have been published, methodological recommendations have been developed, scientific articles have been published, defended dissertations. At the same time, in new school projects, investors and authors of general education institutions often do not envisage the organization of inclusive education, believing that children with special educational needs will not study in these institutions. First of all, we should note that in Ukraine society is not entirely prepared to solve the problem of organizing inclusive education in secondary schools. For example, not everyone knows that the formation of a class with inclusive education is carried out by the head of a comprehensive educational institution, taking into account educational needs of the population, provided that there is a necessary material and technical and methodological base, appropriate pedagogical staff and premises, in agreement with the relevant education management body. The article examines the issues of creating equal access for children with special educational needs to quality education by forming a comfortable architectural and planning organization of general educational institutions. Recommendations are given regarding the occupancy of classes with inclusive education, the parameters and areas of the main premises of schools are determined.

The rapid loss of health of the younger generations during school education makes it a pressing problem for students to maintain their health during the learning process. This problem is extremely important not only for the general education environment but also for institutions of higher and postgraduate education, since the safety of the educational process for the health of students depends first and foremost on the teacher. However, to date, the problem of student health technologies has not been sufficiently studied. In particular, there is no single approach to the name and overall classification of such technologies. The article analyzes the views of scientists on the nature of student health technologies. Based on this, the term "school technologies of preserving students' health" and a general classification of student health preservation technologies are proposed for use, which logically integrates existing semantic interpretations. We believe that it is appropriate to separate school technologies for preserving students' health into appropriate health (technologies implemented in the educational process without compromising the health of the subjects: taking into account individual, age, gender characteristics; ergonomic, technical, organizational norms educational process, etc.) and health-saving (technologies aimed at shaping students' competences in maintaining their own health and that of other people: fostering a culture of health, health of the same lifestyle, sanogenic thinking etc.). It is noted that the results of theoretical analysis of the problem of general classification of school technologies of preserving students' health actualize the problem of further detailed classification of these technologies and ways of their introduction in the educational process of general educational institutions.

The conclusion is made about the need for interaction between higher and postgraduate education not only to ensure formation and development of professionalism of the young employees, but also the economic sustainability of enterprises.


First in the series on Education and Society in South Asia, this volume focuses on the educational thought of a world-renowned teacher, thinker, and writer—Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986). This edited volume examines Krishnamurti’s work and explores his contemporary relevance in educational endeavours and practices in different parts of the country. The contributors to the volume argue that Krishnamurti sought to change the way education is perceived, from the mere teaching of curriculum into a life-changing experience of learning from relationships and life. Through a range of essays that address diverse issues and themes, the contributors seek to uncover the practices and processes at some of the institutions that Krishnamurti established in different parts of rural and urban India. These include essays on curriculum building, inclusive education, pedagogy, debates on educational philosophy and practice, and teacher education. They help bring out the barriers and breakthroughs in the educational processes as practiced in these schools and how they may further be applied to other educational institutions.
