OFFICIAL PRINCIPLES OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN UKRAINE
In December 2009, Ukraine ratified the main international documents in the field of ensuring children’s rights in accordance with the world standards of education, social protection and health care. First of all, we are talking about Article 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which defines the state’s obligation to implement an inclusive model of education, that is, to create such a subject-spatial special environment that would enable all children to be equally equal participants in the educational process in a single educational spaces according to their characteristics, needs and capabilities.

On September 5, 2017, a new Law of Ukraine “On Education” was adopted. Since that time, children with special educational needs have the full right to get an education in all educational institutions, in particular, free of charge in state and communal ones, regardless of the “establishment of disability”.
