The article analyzes the educational situation of students with disabilities in Vietnam. The author reviews legal acts regarding inclusive education. He also presents research aiming to determine the preparation level of preschool and school teachers in four Vietnamese regions to work in inclusive education. The results of the survey were compared with data obtained through direct observation of teachers' work in inclusive settings. It turned out that the declared level of teachers' preparation for inclusive education did not coincide with their real competences. Teachers overstated their degree of preparation to work in inclusion with students with disabilities. The author formulates a number of recommendations that are intended to improve the quality of education for students with special educational needs in Vietnam.
