Abstract
The paper analyses the attitudes of future teachers towards inclusive education in the context of educational reforms supported by the Slovak Recovery and Resilience Plan. It aims to identify which attitude components—cognitive, affective, and behavioral—have changed significantly between 2020 and 2025. The research uses the standardized MATIES scale, whose Slovak version proved to be valid and reliable. The results indicate the most positive shift in the affective component (emotional readiness for diversity), while the cognitive component (belief in the universal right to inclusion) remains weaker. The paper concludes with recommendations for teacher training and public policy.
