Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to highlight key strategic documents and national projects as legislative and pragmatic starting points for promoting an inclusive approach to the education and training of children and students with health and/or social disadvantages (especially from marginalised Roma communities) in Slovakia from 2009 to the present. The contribution is an overview study and, within the framework of the International Visegrad Project ID 22420073, is a theoretical basis for conducting our own research focusing on the acceptance of legislative documents and the fulfilment of the objectives of national projects in pedagogical practice in the conditions of kindergartens, primary, secondary, and higher education institutions in Slovakia. The paper concludes by formulating research problems, the solutions to which will focus on identifying uncertainties and barriers, which must be overcome in the process of improving the school success of children and students with health and/or social disadvantages in the context of inclusion in Slovakia.
