| Title | Inclusive education for children with disabilities in Ukraine |
| Summary | For a long time, many foreign discussions have focused on finding effective and efficient strategies for implementing such a phenomenon as inclusive education. Despite the widespread use of the notion “school for all” around the world, this concept is quite new for Ukraine, and therefore comes across many difficulties and obstacles. Taking into account the legislative changes in Ukraine regarding the development of education for children with disabilities, this thesis is aimed at analyzing existing approaches both in Ukraine and abroad and to develop possible recommendations for improving the situation in the country. Comparative examination of legislation and relevant social policies and practices in both Ukraine and the EU countries is the basis for the analysis. The first part of the thesis describes the general concept of inclusive education for Ukrainian legislation and presents the main approaches that prevail in educational institutions. The second part is devoted to international norms and standards regarding education and focuses on international documents and treaties concerning the right to education of children with disabilities. Meanwhile, the third part of the work is devoted to the analysis of compliance of Ukrainian legislation with international norms and standards of EU countries. Examples include countries such as France, Spain, Turkey, Slovakia and others. Finally, the thesis proposes to consider certain conclusions that can be drawn from the above-presented analysis and offers certain guidelines for possible improvement of the situation regarding access to education for children with disabilities in Ukraine. The desk research and analysis will be used as main methods in the development of my Capstone Project. |
