Improving Mechanisms for Advancing the Effectiveness of Inclusive Education in Uzbekistan
Abstract
Inclusive education is a key objective for modern educational systems around the world, aimed at ensuring equitable access to quality learning opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities and special needs. Uzbekistan has made considerable strides in promoting an inclusive education framework, though there remains a need to enhance the mechanisms supporting its effective implementation. This study examines the current landscape of inclusive education in Uzbekistan, highlights existing challenges, and offers recommendations for improving its effectiveness. Focus areas include legislative reforms, educator preparation, infrastructure improvements, and community participation.
