Entering into the world educational space requires a new look at the education system. Every year the number of children with special educational needs increases, and in order to meet the needs of society, it is necessary to maintain a culture of inclusive education. This phenomenon is quite new, and it is only beginning to take shape in the practice of education.

The speakers discussed the history of inclusion in Russia, the concept and principles of development, as well as the difficulties in implementing inclusion in education.

The subject matter drew attention of the listeners and participants of the webinar, who lively discussed it. Therefore, it was decided to submit conceptual issues for discussion and organize a round table, which was held on 22 August.
