Abstract

The article discloses the main results of the research on current issues of ensuring barrier-free access of participants in the educational process to a health-preserving educational environment, taking into account modern migration processes. It is noted that at the legislative level attention is focused on the fact that it is necessary to find ways to improve the process of preserving, strengthening and forming health. It was emphasized that one of these ways is to ensure barrier-free access of participants in the educational process to a health-preserving educational environment. It was established that the formation of a health-preserving educational environment is influenced by groups of factors: firstly, socio-political, psychological-pedagogical, cultural, organizational, managerial; secondly, medical, hygienic, valeological, rehabilitation; thirdly, natural and anthropogenic. It has been proven that the process of creating a health-preserving educational environment is based on the principles of strengthening, multiplying and restoring the health of participants in the educational process, which involves a set of measures aimed at restructuring the traditional education system and forming a culture of health among student youth. It was noted that the creation of a health-preserving environment involves, on the one hand, the implementation of diagnostic and preventive, health-improving, rehabilitation, and corrective measures, and on the other hand, it requires specialists to develop and implement special methods and modern health-improving educational technologies in the educational process, which would ensure free access of participants in the educational process to a health-preserving educational environment. It is indicated that one of the mechanisms of providing barrier-free access to the participants of the educational process to a health-preserving environment is the creation of an educational hub «Barrier-free access to a health-preserving educational environment» using modern information technologies. The priority areas of work of the educational hub are the expansion of ideas about a barrier-free environment, barrier-free policy in the world, advanced practices of inclusiveness. Some principles of ensuring the work of the educational hub are outlined: partnership, cooperation and activity. It was emphasized that an important factor in the development and implementation of the state policy to ensure unhindered access of the population to various spheres of life is the barrier-free access of Ukrainians – forced migrants to a health-preserving educational environment.
