Abstract

Inclusive education is a crucial aspect of contemporary educational systems to ensure accessibility and quality of education for all learners, including those with developmental peculiarities or disabilities. This article reviews current research and publications on inclusive education to identify critical trends, challenges, and achievements. Several aspects of inclusive education have been analysed, including teacher training, using technologies, creating an environment, and resolving socio-cultural issues. Based on the findings, conclusions are drawn about the necessity of a comprehensive approach to implementing inclusive education, including the professional training of educators, active use of technologies, and creation of an educational environment. Important directions for further research could include studying the impact of professional teacher training on the successful implementation of inclusive education, analysing the effectiveness of various educational methods and strategies, and investigating the role of technologies in ensuring education accessibility for all learners. Integrating the findings from such studies can assist educational institutions and government bodies in developing and implementing more effective strategies and policies for inclusive education. It, in turn, can improve accessibility and quality of education for all children and youth, regardless of their characteristics and needs.
