A common room at school should provide the classes considering the educational and developmental needs of pupils, as well as their psychophysical capabilities, in particular the classes developing pupils' interests, allowing proper physical development and doing their homework. The addressed issues relate to the conditions and activities undertaken in the common rooms of state schools, which create an inclusive space for the pupils with special educational needs. The method of a diagnostic survey and the survey questionnaire of its own design were used in this study. The research group consisted of the teachers – tutors from common rooms in Rzeszów who shared their opinions and experiences on successes and real inclusive difficulties. The specific problems were formulated in the questions: What special needs do the pupils using the common rooms demonstrate? What is the level of conditions in the school common room in the range of the activities for the pupils with special educational needs? And what successes and difficulties in implementing inclusion do the teachers of the common rooms indicate? In the course of diagnostic research, the group of children with special needs was identified, the situations favourable for inclusion and the difficult situations, requiring systematic approach and verification, were determined. The obtained results show the urgent need for changes, both by the bodies governing schools and by the headmasters, in the organization and the specific conditions of functioning of all pupils (including the pupils with special educational needs). In relation to the above, an important message for science is not only the aspect of diagnosis of the pupils' situation, but also the design, modelling and evaluation of the school's care and educational tasks.

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.

Education is a fundamental right of all children, including those with special educational needs. Efforts to achieve education for all has resulted in the focused attention of governments around the world, thereby improving the quality of education in schools and leading to dignified social status for students previously marginalized and/or denied admission to schools. This worldwide movement following various international conventions and mandates has resulted in local efforts to reach rural remote areas, with education provided by the government in most countries. Though there has been significant progress in reaching children, it has not been uniform. There are still many barriers for children in rural and tribal areas or in remote parts of the country that prevent them from receiving equitable education. The essence of inclusive education is to build the capacity to reach out to all children, thereby promoting equity. In the 1990s, special needs education was a focus, and integrating it into the overall educational system led to reforms in mainstream schools which resulted in inclusive education that addressed the diverse learning needs of children. How successful have we been in these efforts particularly in the remote and rural areas? There are various models and practices for special and inclusive education in rural and remote areas, but reaching children with special educational needs in such areas is still a challenge. Though there are schools in these areas, not all are sufficiently equipped to address the education of children with special needs. Furthermore, teachers working in rural areas in many countries are not adequately trained to teach those with special needs, nor are there the technological support systems that we find available in urban areas. Yet, interestingly, in some rural/tribal communities, the teachers are naturally at ease with children with diverse needs. The schools in such areas tend to have heterogeneous classes with one teacher providing instruction to combined groups at different grade levels. Evidence shows that rural teachers are less resistant to including children with special needs compared to urban teachers. Because of their homogeneous lifestyle, community supports in rural areas offer another supportive factor toward smooth inclusion. Though primary education is ensured in most rural and remote areas, children have to travel long distances to semi-urban/urban areas for secondary and higher education; such travel is further complicated when the child has a disability. In many rural areas, children with special needs tend to learn the traditional job skills naturally associated with that area, though such skills are not always blended into the school curriculum. Preparing teachers to provide education in rural areas with the latest technological developments and a focus on vocation is bound to make that education more meaningful and naturally inclusive.

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.

Social Partnership

The article stresses the necessity of forming a tolerant attitude towards others in order to ensure effective interaction of all subjects of inclusive education, namely: pedagogical staff; children (both with special needs and ordinary pupils); parents, or persons who replace them. A comparative analysis of the content load of the concepts of «inclusive education» and «tolerance» is made. The ideology of social partnership and the establishment of «social peace» are defined. The compromise, as the leading method of solving social conflicts within the framework of social partnership, is emphasized. It has been determined that cooperation of all subjects in the context of inclusive education should be based on universal values, mutual respect and tolerance. It is proved that social partnership is a pledge of non-conflict tolerant interaction of children with special needs and their environment. The special role of the teacher from the point of view of tolerance is outlined, and the importance of possessing the technology of tolerant communication. It is emphasized that personal example and favorable environment help to establish and practical implementation of the value of tolerance. It is proved that one of the conditions for inclusion of a child in inclusive education is the ability of parents to consciously perceive the child’s condition, to be able to work with teachers, acting as their active assistants. It is stressed that the problem of education of tolerance for people with special educational needs should unite specialists of different directions and levels: philosophers, psychologists, teachers, managers, etc.; The representatives of different age groups are no exception. Tolerance, as the key value of the individual, has to become the dominant social partnership of all subjects of inclusive education, the uniting solution for a brick for the full development of children with special educational needs.
