Ukrainian premier notes importance of creating conditions for inclusive education

Ukraine's Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has noted the importance of ensuring conditions for inclusive education for children with special needs.

"Especially I would like to emphasize the creation of conditions for inclusive education. We cannot close children with special needs in the environment, which, in principle, will not create conditions to get out of the situation in which the child is," he said in Kyiv, when opening public hearings regarding the development of priorities in children's rights protection in Ukraine entitled "Children in need of special protection of the state: the key aspects of public policy reform."

The prime minister noted that ensuring the rights of children is the priority for him, and the Cabinet of Ministers is ready to support such initiatives.

As reported, China will provide more than UAH 5 million for the development of inclusive education in Ukraine.

The Cabinet intends by 2022 to transfer pupils from special schools for children with mental retardation to inclusive forms in schools.

Inclusive education is based on understanding that disabled people in today's society can (and should) be involved in the community on the basis of forming access to education for everybody, including children with disabilities.
