Education is universally recognized as a basic human right and an essential condition for personal development, social inclusion, and national progress. However, children with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or those undergoing long-term medical treatment often face serious barriers to attending ordinary schools. If alternative educational opportunities are not provided, such children risk academic delay, emotional stress, and social isolation. For this reason, modern educational systems develop special mechanisms such as hospital schools and home-based education. The article concludes that these educational models ensure continuity of learning, psychological well-being, equal opportunities, and implementation of constitutional rights. Their development demonstrates Uzbekistan’s commitment to inclusive education and social justice.
