A Path to Inclusive Education in Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan

The article examines the challenges faced by initiators of inclusive education in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The research was conducted in qualitative methodology, in a case study strategy, and the object was a small school in Petropavlovsk, which has ten years of experience in including students with motor disabilities in the regular educational process. The study of this school's experience shows that the inclusion of students with special educational needs can lead to broader integration, since children with emotional and behavioral disorders now also study at the school. The difficulties of implementing inclusion are analyzed, and it is shown that the success of this educational project is largely due to the cooperation between the rehabilitation center under the Ministry of Social Protection and the public school.
