NEED FOR CHANGING AND AMENDING THE LEGAL REGULATIONS

Abstract

The Republic of Macedonia as one of the suc­cessors of former Yugoslavia, took over the pre­vious signed international conventions, dec­lara­tions, resolutions related to education, social and health care, social integration of children with developmental problems and special edu­cation needs. Thus, it was morally obliged to undertake activities for their successful and effi­cient inte­gration. On the other hand, the Article 35 of the Constitution of the Republic of Mace­donia le­gally obliges our state to develop a Na­tional Strategy for better life of this category of citi­zens, as well as their inclusion in all spheres of social life.Due to the mentioned above, it is necessary to change and amend the legal regulations in order to achieve more efficient integration of children and youth with disabilities. In other words, the contemporary European tendencies indicate on up-dating the legal regulations that directly or indirectly are related to these people and their more successful social integration.
