Abstract

International and European human rights laws increasingly recognise inclusive education as an essential requirement for a successful exercise of the right to education.This article discusses the normative basis of the child's right to inclusive education, relying on international treaty norms and the European Court of Human Rights' jurisprudence.It claims that states carry main responsibility for creating inclusive educational systems.The findings show that, despite strong legal guarantees, many children, particularly those with disabilities, continue to encounter severe impediments to fair and good-quality education.The article continues by addressing the structural adjustments required to turn inclusive education from a declarative commitment to an enforceable and practical reality.
