Introduction.
The rapid development of the digital society, the introduction of innovative
technologies into the field of education require new approaches to the formation of the education
system. Globally, education systems are undergoing changes and transformations, as new
technologies create great opportunities for increasing the efficiency of educational processes
around the world, introducing innovations into them, and solving existing problems. Today,
ensuring equal access to education and the right to education in accordance with the needs of
each individual is of great importance. It is in this process that the inclusive education system
plays a special role. Inclusive education is an approach aimed at equalizing educational
opportunities for all individuals. In this system, the specific needs of students (physical or mental
limitations, cultural and social differences) are taken into account, and educational processes are
also adapted to each student. Digital technologies play an important role in this process, as they
create opportunities for ensuring an individual approach to education, creating learning resources
adapted for people with various limitations, and making education more open and accessible for
students. The capabilities of digital educational platforms are making a significant contribution
to the development of inclusive education. For example, online courses, interactive educational

programs, special programs and applications, virtual classrooms, and other digital tools are being
used as effective tools to meet the specific needs of students. However, many problems still need
to be solved to implement digital education in an inclusive manner. In particular, issues such as
digital gaps (digital inequality), uneven distribution of resources in education, and low digital
competencies of teachers are the biggest obstacles to more effective implementation of inclusive
education. In this context, this article considers priority areas and practical recommendations for
improving inclusive education. It examines what measures should be taken to effectively
integrate digital learning platforms, adapt digital technologies to the needs of students, and
expand their capabilities. It also highlights the need for educational institutions to adopt new
pedagogical approaches and methodologies. The article analyzes current trends and priorities for
the development of an inclusive education system in a digital society, and examines the political,
social, and technological factors necessary for their implementation.

of learning materials tailored to the needs of students, and the individualization of education.
Research methods.
As a first stage of the study, existing scientific literature, reports, and global
and regional trends in education were studied. This method involves analyzing existing research
and practices on the development of an inclusive education system using digital tools. The
sources analyzed include scientific articles, reports, and best practices in education on
educational technologies, digital inclusion, and pedagogical methodologies. During the study,

questionnaires and interviews were conducted with teachers, heads of educational institutions,
and users of digital educational platforms (students and their families). Using this method,
experiences of using digital tools and platforms in inclusive education were studied and their
effectiveness was analyzed. At the next stage of the study, experiments were organized to
practically test inclusive education through digital platforms in educational institutions.
Experiments were conducted with teachers and students, and their attitudes towards digital
educational tools and learning effectiveness were assessed. Based on the collected data,
qualitative and quantitative analysis methods were used to examine the current challenges and
opportunities of digital inclusive education. The results of the analysis helped to identify the
technological and pedagogical approaches needed to improve the effectiveness of inclusive
education.
Results and discussion.
As a result of the experiments and surveys, many opportunities were
identified that ensure the effective functioning of digital learning platforms in the inclusive
education system. Educational materials and resources adapted to the needs of students increase
the effectiveness of education. This is especially important for students with mental and physical
disabilities. The study identified the problem of digital gaps (digital inequality). The inability of
students with limited access to digital technologies to fully benefit from inclusive education was
noted in many educational institutions. To combat this, it was emphasized that it is necessary to
develop strategies aimed at equal distribution of digital tools in the education system and
eliminating digital gaps. The low digital competencies of teachers are an obstacle to the
implementation of inclusive education. According to the results of the study, continuous training
of teachers in digital technologies and their mastery of digital pedagogical methodologies will
help increase the effectiveness of the inclusive education system.
The results of the study showed the need to solve a number of problems in improving inclusive
education using digital technologies. To create equal opportunities in a digital society, it is
necessary to train teachers in the effective use of digital technologies, reduce digital gaps, and
create resources adapted to students with special needs. In addition, additional resources should
be allocated for the full integration of digital tools in educational institutions. In the inclusion of
digital education, it is important to expand the capabilities of technologies, as well as improve
pedagogical approaches and methods, and familiarize teachers with new pedagogical
technologies. In the future, with the help of digital platforms for inclusive education, it will be
possible to create wide opportunities not only for students with physical and mental disabilities,
but also for all students. At the same time, the use of innovative approaches in the education
system, further individualization of education, and creation of equal opportunities for all students
will serve to improve the quality of education.
Conclusions and suggestions.
This study aimed to study the current issues of improving the
inclusive education system in a digital society and led to a number of important conclusions. The
results of the study showed that digital technologies are an important tool in the development of
inclusive education, which allows creating equal opportunities for students and providing
educational resources tailored to their needs. However, there are some problems in the inclusion
of digital education, in particular, barriers such as digital gaps and low digital competencies of

teachers. The study showed the need to reduce digital gaps, effectively integrate digital
educational platforms, increase the readiness of teachers to digital pedagogical methodologies,
and ensure an individual approach to students. The introduction of digital tools in inclusive
education is of great importance for creating equal opportunities for students in education. Also,
improving pedagogical approaches and methods and developing the integration of digital
technologies into the educational process will serve to make the education system effective and
inclusive. To reduce digital divides, it is necessary to distribute digital technologies equitably in
the education system. Educational institutions and governments should provide students with
digital devices and access to the Internet, including additional support for rural areas and families
with limited financial resources. It is necessary to strengthen the training of teachers in digital
educational tools and inclusive pedagogy methodologies. To this end, teachers should be
regularly trained on how to use digital educational platforms and organize lessons adapted to the
needs of students. In order to integrate digital educational platforms effectively and beneficially
for students, it is necessary to develop an individual learning plan for each student. Establishing
close cooperation between educational institutions, teachers and technology specialists will help
to adapt the platforms to the needs of students.
