Inclusive Education

In the current globalization process, ensuring human rights in the education system, creating equal opportunities and providing education taking into account the individual needs of each student has become an urgent issue. In this context, the inclusive education approach is widely recognized around the world. Inclusive education is a system that creates conditions for all children, including students with disabilities or special needs, to study together in general education institutions. The main emphasis in this system is on providing quality education to each child through adapting the educational environment, improving pedagogical methods and using modern technologies.

Inclusive education is a system that ensures that all children, including those with disabilities or special needs, have access to quality education alongside their peers in mainstream education institutions. In Uzbekistan, UNICEF, in partnership with the Ministry of Preschool and School Education, is making it a priority to create an equal learning environment for all by modeling inclusive schools, creating accessible infrastructure, and introducing new standards.

Key aspects of inclusive education:

Infrastructure: Universal design of school buildings, i.e. creating accessible conditions for children with disabilities (ramps, special equipment), UNICEF.

Legislation: Testing new guidelines and standards to improve the quality of inclusive education, UNICEF.

Pedagogical approach: Using special methodologies for working with children with hearing, vision or intellectual disabilities.
