Spiritual and moral development of society as the basis of inclusive education: the current state of the problem

the challenges offered to Russian society today put the need for unity of the younger generation at the center. This makes the education of young people an important element of pedagogical practice, which in modern conditions is impossible without the awareness of inclusion as a phenomenon of social balance. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the assumptions that the principles of inclusive education are based on spiritual and moral values of human development. It is known that spirituality and morality together form the basis of an individual, determining his views and life guidelines, including in the educational environment. This opens up opportunities for a deeper understanding of how spiritual and moral education contributes to the development of inclusive education. The spiritual and moral development of society really plays an important role in the formation of the foundations of inclusive education. The purpose of our study is to show that in the modern context this problem is becoming especially relevant, since inclusion involves creating conditions for the full participation of all people, regardless of their physical or mental disabilities, in the educational process. The theoretical basis of the study included a set of generalizations of literary studies aimed at systematizing knowledge in the field of inclusive practices in the education of the principles of spiritual and moral education. Scientific publications and legislative documents were used as sources of information. The results of this study can be useful for teachers, specialists in the field of inclusive education for writing adapted programs in the situation of teaching children with special educational needs, as well as for the purpose of conducting extracurricular activities that affect the spiritual and moral development of schoolchildren. The authors of the article examined the spiritual and moral values and principles of inclusive education, conducted a theoretical analysis of literary sources, and also proposed a comparative analysis of the main spiritual and moral values and leading principles of inclusive education, reflecting the continuity of these two concepts.
