“The experience of inclusive education is very much developed in our
country. No CIS country has such an experience, announced manager of
“Huysi Kamurj” public organization Susanna Tadevosyan at the conference
today. To note, this type of education has been used in our country
since 2003 in 5 schools in different communities. According to the
information provided by the representative of Ministry of Education
and Science Anahit Muradyan 157 children with special needs study
in 5 schools providing general education in the scopes of the
program. Principal of school N 27 Anahit Bakhshyan mentioned that
36 children with special needs study at their school for what they
received money from the State last year. As she said this year the
financial assistance has not yet been received.
Today the most difficult problem for invalid children is the fact that
schools providing general education are unavailable for them. Unlike
our schools the schools in Russia are more available to these children
as a result of which a greater number of children manage to receive
general education. “We think every child has to study in a school
providing general education irrespective of his/her nationality
and other circumstances as it is only there that they can receive
high-quality and full education,” mentioned the representative of
“Perspoektiva” public organization Tamara Lobovskaya, who has arrived
in Armenia together with her colleagues to get acquainted with our
experience in the field of inclusive education and later contribute
it in School N 1961 in Moscow.
“We can contribute this system of education in all the schools
beginning from 2006 but it will not be productive. Firs we have to
carry out preliminary works at schools,” said A. Muradyan. She also
mentioned that soon this system will be put in 8 more schools with
159 children with special needs studying there. /Panorama.am/
