Summary/Abstract: The paper critiques the noticeable ideologization of the concept of inclusive education, which is caused by its superficial understanding and excessive uncritical glorification, that is, by the proclamation of the idea of inclusive education as a supreme humanistic approach in education that has no alternative. The lucrative dimension of such representation of inclusive education, which enables certain interest groups (i.e. ideologists of inclusive education) to profit by participating in numerous projects generously funded by international and non-governmental organizations related to training in inclusive education and its implementation in practice, should not be overlooked. The paper also presents the reflections of some authors who question the concept of inclusive education, as well as certain research results that do not confirm the theoretical starting points of inclusive education.
