Abstract

The problem of social inclusion of the children with special educative requirements becomes more and more actual in social policies promotion in the Republic of Moldova. In this article there’s a distinction between the concepts of „social integration” and „social inclusion” that reveals that social inclusion involves a set of multidimensional actions in different spheres (justice, social protection, health, education etc.) addressed to socially marginalized persons for the creation and development of opportunities for ensuring the life quality index equivalent to that of the community they live in. In order to highlight the aspects that negatively affect social inclusion of the children with special educative requirements from the Republic of Moldova there were fulfilled 25 semi structural interviews with the chiefs of the General Departments of Education, Youth and Sport. The results of the qualitative research reflect that at present there’s a lack of legal frame in social inclusion area, while the educational system is underdeveloped; it’s more often applied to the residential forms of protection the children with special educative requirements and that creates serious impediments in social inclusion of them.
