Resume
Dette 18 måneders projekt vil styrke rettighederne for børn med handicap og særlige uddannelsmæssige behov til at få inkluderende kvalitetsundervisning i Armenien. Med støtte fra civilsamfundet vil projektet samle og styrke de opnåede resultater fra tidligere faser af at udvikle inkluderende undervisning i hele Tavush-regionen. Dette gøres ved at videreføre kapacitetsopbygning af personale og specialpædagogisk støtte i alle Tavushs 77 offentlige skoler. Eksisterende støttegrupper for forældre til børn med handicap på disse skoler vil blive styrket, og et netværk af forældrestøttegrupper vil blive den drivende kraft i fortalervirksomhed for deres børns rettigheder i skolerne og i lokalsamfundet. Efter samråd med civilsamfundet og regeringen vil Tavush-modellen for inkluderende undervisning blive færdigudviklet, så den kan blive brugt i hele Armenien.
