06. Jan. 2017. in publications

The reform of the education system hinges significantly on the development of inclusive education, which prioritizes the respect for individual characteristics and needs. This approach is grounded in several fundamental principles: collaborative teaching and learning, equipping students with tools and technologies to overcome learning barriers, and crafting individualized educational plans to nurture students' unique abilities. Inclusive education underscores the distinctiveness of each child, recognizing their inherent potentials, values, opportunities, as well as challenges and obstacles. Fundamentally, inclusive education adopts a tailored approach to each child, irrespective of whether they belong to a marginalized group or not. This subject carries social, theoretical, and practical significance, serving as a crucial gauge of each child's inherent value. Such a standpoint serves as a pivotal prerequisite for the realization of legal provisions on inclusive education across all levels. This articulated stance lays the necessary groundwork for the execution of child-centered initiatives.
