ABSTRACT

Inclusive education policies aim to ensure that all students, regardless of their disabilities, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, or other differences, have equitable access to quality education. This study examines the concepts, benefits, challenges, and best practices of inclusive education, emphasizing the significance of adaptive curricula, teacher training, and participatory policymaking. Drawing from case studies and global best practices, this paper identifies actionable strategies to overcome barriers such as funding, societal stigmas, and systemic inequalities. Inclusive education is essential not only for fostering individual growth but also for promoting social equity and democratic values. The findings advocate for continuous policy refinement, collaboration among stakeholders, and the prioritization of inclusive approaches in education systems worldwide.
