Perception of Teachers and Educators About the Application of Inclusion in Schools and Kindergartens

Abstract

A large number of laws and policies that guarantee all children (regardless of differences and specifics) the right to quality education and equal opportunities for development have been adopted to bring the education system in line with European standards. One of these projects is inclusive education. Inclusive education means that schools and kindergartens should accept all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic and other characteristics. Teachers and educators in schools and kindergartens should nurture an inclusive culture and by their behavior provide examples and models of implementing inclusion in groups. The paper presents the attitudes of teachers and educators on the application of inclusion, which clearly shows their similarities and differences.
