Summary/Abstract: The article analyses education and inclusive education from a human rights and human rights-based approach perspective. The analysis of the international legal framework in the field of human rights highlights the interrelatedness of international treaties, and that education was recognized as a human right attributed without discrimination for all, including for children with disabilities, 75 years ago when the „Universal Declaration for Human Rights” was adopted. The Declaration highlights the equality in rights for all persons, including persons with disabilities. Education is a right and not a privilege, thus the state must respect, protect and fulfilment of the right to education in a mainstream and inclusive environment. The article is developed by the author based on the analysis of international legal frameworks in the field.
