Summary/Abstract: The inclusion of children with special needs in the regular groups in the kindergartens and in the regular classes in the primary schools is the right of the children with special educational needs. Their previous isolation from the regular groups did not require the readiness of the teachers from the regular groups to know how to work with children with special educational needs. The inclusion of these children today requires the study programs for initial preparation of educators and teachers to be changed and enriched with subject programs in the field of inclusive education. The paper analyzes the study programs that prepare primary school teachers in Macedonia and Serbia. The aim is to see how future educators and teachers are prepared to work in inclusive schools, ie through which subject programs. The paper will look at the situation in the Republic of Northern Macedonia and the situation in Serbia.
