Ukrainian President’s wife Maryna Poroshenko has said that almost every fourth school in Ukraine implements principles of inclusive education.

She stated this at a special meeting dedicated to the implementation of inclusive education reform in the city of Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"According to the latest data, almost every fourth school in Ukraine introduces the inclusive principle of education. Of course, such a trend confidently brings us closer to European living standards. At present in Ukraine, the fate of almost one million children depends on the reform of inclusive education," she said.
