Inclusive Vocational Education in Russia
P. 107–119.
Throughout the twentieth century, a well-functioning mechanism of vocational education of persons with disabilities worked in the USSR, including segregated system of training and production enterprises. The result of the transition to market relations was the transformation of the vocational training system and the closure of most special educational institutions, which led to new challenges (and some- times new achievements) for people with disabilities. This chapter analyses how the previous Soviet experience is reflected in the current system of vocational education in the context of an orientation towards international norms and the implementation of new institutional practices for equity and inclusion.
