A Comparative Analysis of Legal Framework of Inclusive Education: Evidence from India and Russia

Abstract

This report addresses the question of the comparative analysis of legal frameworks in the inclusive education system of India and Russia. The objective is to consider the issue of inclusive education. Despite the differences in mentality, special conditions and features, India and Russia have the same problem in this sphere. The main problem of the system of inclusive education in India and Russia is the lack of specially trained teachers and detailed developed legal frameworks. India and Russia have no all-Indian and all-Russian law about inclusive education. There were no significant differences of legal frameworks of inclusive education in India and Russia. There are significant differences in special conditions of transition to inclusive education in India and Russia. The lack of necessary conditions in schools and the lack of government policies and finances are the main barriers to inclusive education.
