The article highlights the shortfall in support for the participation of children with special educational needs (HEV) in various hobby education camps in Estonia. Despite the government’s goal of promoting inclusive education for all, the arrangement of these camps has not received sufficient backing to ensure HEV children can feel comfortable and included.

Marii Kangur expresses concern over how this lack of support undermines the broader aims of inclusive education, as these hobby camps are essential for the social and educational development of HEV children. The absence of resources and proper planning may lead to these children feeling excluded from activities that many of their peers participate in, ultimately affecting their growth and development.

The implications of this situation extend beyond individual children; it raises critical questions about the adequacy of the current educational policies in Estonia and suggests a need for increased funding and resources aimed at improving inclusivity in educational and recreational programs. Addressing these issues could lead to a more equitable environment for all students, fostering better integration and acceptance in society.
