Summary/Abstract: The text focuses on the development of inclusive education in Uzbekistan. Shown are the efforts of the Government of Uzbekistan to turn the inclusive education a part of the State education policy and the support on institutional and legislative level for the inclusion of children and adults with special needs into the society. According to teachers, included in the cited in the manuscript EU initiative, children with mental challenges have troubles with meeting educational standards but they socialise and behave more happily. According to parents of children with SEN, those children who participate in inclusive classes are developing well. Parents whose children have attended special schools before entering the inclusive education process emphasised that their children develop more slowly and inclusive education in their view is more effective compared to the education given at the special schools. When introducing educational projects or programmes of any kind, and for the purpose of ownership, sustainability, effectiveness and impact, it is necessary to cover the Educational Value Chain from beginning to end, with each aspect adding value to the overall outcome. A consequence of the EVC is the fact that the careful implementation of educational projects whereby attitudinal change is required, takes a considerable amount of time, in general four to five years at least.
