Problems of the Education and Inclusion of People with Disabilities

Despite measures in effect for the normative legal regulation of the life and activity of people with disabilities in Russia, the present organization of education fails to meet the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Handicapped People. Reasons for this include ineffective methods and forms of schooling, lack of support from society, negative public attitudes toward handicapped people, and inadequate incentives and motivation to acquire a higher education.
