## State Guarantees of Inclusive Education

The Georgian Law on General Education makes inclusive education a direct obligation of the state. Under Article 7, the state ensures the right of every pupil — including pupils with special educational needs — to receive general education as close as possible to their place of residence and in the state or native language. This norm is the foundation of accessibility in education and signals to schools that adapting to the child's needs is a state requirement, not merely pedagogical advice.

Where the exercise of this right is impossible through the standard voucher, the state provides such pupils with an increased voucher and/or additional funding within a targeted programme approved by the Ministry. The increased voucher and additional funding serve the openness and equal accessibility of public schools, the introduction of inclusive and multilingual education, the improvement of material, technical, programme and human resources, appropriate remuneration of staff, a health-safe environment and the uninterrupted conduct of the learning process. The state also ensures the receipt of general education in a penitentiary institution, in accordance with the procedure established by the Penitentiary Code.
