The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to describe and compare the education of pupils and students with special educational needs in the Czech Republic, France and Quebec on the basis of legislative and conceptual documents. In accordance with the formulated goal, documents of ministries of education and upbringing of individual countries and other legislative documents concerning inclusive education of pupils with special educational needs are analyzed and compared. Subsequently, partial goals are formulated: comparison of education of pupils with special educational needs and comparison of education, competencies and work of a teaching assistant. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first block of the theoretical part presents the educational systems of individual countries. The second block is devoted to the description of the education of children, pupils and students with special educational needs, as they are legally defined in individual countries. The practical part focuses on the analysis and comparison of individual subjects. The core of the practical part is a specific comparison of principles and possibilities of supporting inclusive education in individual countries. A qualitative strategy is chosen to meet the above objectives, and the data collection technique used is comparative analysis. Secondly, a semi-structured interview and observation is used. The work can be beneficial for students of pedagogically oriented programs as well as for the pedagogical public. The results of the bachelor's thesis can serve at the application level as inspiring materials for the creation of innovations in the education of pupils and students with special educational needs in the Czech Republic.
