The modern education system in most countries is built on providing equitable education opportunities to all people, regardless of the limitations they have. There are no significant problems in primary and secondary inclusive education, while most traditional higher education models are not sufficiently adapted to the needs of people with learning disabilities. Thus, it has been replaced by a blended learning model built on new digital learning environments in recent years. The aim of the article is to study the blended learning environment of inclusive educa-tion systems in China and Russia. The article presents the findings of a “The Global Learner Survey”, conducted on behalf of Pearson in May 2019 by The Harris Poll. The survey involved over 11,000 learners aged 16-70 across nine-teen countries. Additionally, statistics on the higher education development in Russia and China were used. The analysis of the current state of higher education in Russia and China, as well as the development of a blended learning environ-ment, shows the positive effect as that it allows students with limited educational opportunities to integrate into the educational and public life of the university and implement all types of rehabilitation along with the educational process.

Donnelly & McAvinia (2012) argued that there were many academics had no training and little experience in the use of communica- tions and information technology as an educational tool. Rusman (2011) declared in his theory that the characteristics of online learning include interactivity, accessibility, and enrichment.…”

Until now, we are still haunted by what is called the Corona Virus or COVID-19. Due to the pandemic, the way of education has changed to online education since 2020. Education is an important component of the quality of a nation's improvement; however, recent research has shown that education system has to face challenges in online learning which is still inefficient. But, there are problems in teaching and students' learning habits through online learning. This study is aimed to investigate the online learning challenges experienced by teachers during this pandemic. Teacher's feedback and statements were collected using semistructured interviews. Overall, teachers concurred that the online learning is not as effective as conventional learning activities (face to face), because the unexpected educational transformation still cannot adapt to the teaching and learning habit. Moreover, some courses must be explained directly and more fully, so that all students can understand and recall the lesson later.
