One of the key issues in modern education of Azerbaijan is the process of increasing the participation level of all people with disabilities in society. That's why the application and formation of inclusive education has become a topical issue. Steps in this direction have been taken in Azerbaijan since 2004. The implementation of the "Inclusive Education Project" in Azerbaijan was launched in 2005. According to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 20 of February 3, 2005, there was approved the development program for the organization of "Education of children with special needs (with disabilities) in the Republic of Azerbaijan". Three pilot projects on the organization of inclusive education have been implemented since 2005 with the financial support of UNESCO within the framework of the development program for the organization of "Education of children with special needs (with disabilities) in the Republic of Azerbaijan". 268 disabled children were involved in the implementation of these programs. The implementation of the project "Application of inclusive education at the level of primary education" has been started by the relevant order of the Ministry since the 2015-2016 academic year within the framework of joint cooperation with UNICEF. In order to organize the education of persons with disabilities in an inclusive environment in general education institutions, there was approved by the Presidential Decree dated December 14, 2017 “The State Program for the development of inclusive education for persons with disabilities in the Republic of Azerbaijan in 2018-2024”. In this regard, various trainings are conducted in secondary and higher schools with the involvement of teachers. Internet portals such as "https://www.inkluzivtehsil.az", created for inclusive education, provide more public involvement in this work. The article discusses the projects and trainings about inclusive education, and their importance. In addition, successful teaching methods for the development of children and youth with disabilities are being studied.
