Inclusive education benefits all
students by providing a learning
environment that meets each
student's individual needs.
Inclusive education allows all
students equal access to the
general education curriculum,
regardless of their abilities or
disabilities.
HELPS ALL STUDENTS REACH
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL
EDUC 103

Inclusive education seeks to
create a culture of acceptance and
understanding by bringing together
all students, regardless of ability,
in one learning environment. By
doing so, inclusive education helps
to break down the barriers that
often exist between students with
and without disabilities.
CREATES A CULTURE OF
ACCEPTANCE AND UNDERSTANDING
EDUC 103

Inclusive education helps
classmates bond and build friendships
with one another. By having all
students in the same classroom,
regardless of abilities, classmates
have the opportunity to get to know
each other better. They can learn
from one another, share experiences,
and make friends.
BUILDS FRIENDSHIPS AND BONDS
BETWEEN CLASSMATES
EDUC 103

Inclusive education prepares
students for life after school by
allowing them to learn in various
settings with different types of
learners. This prepares them for the
real world, where they will encounter
people from all walks of life. Inclusive
education also helps students learn
how to work together and respect
others' differences.
PREPARES STUDENTS FOR
LIFE AFTER SCHOOL
EDUC 103

This can create a more tolerant
and understanding environment.
When all students are included in the
classroom, social barriers are
broken down and a sense of
community is fostered. Inclusive
education also allows all students to
learn from each other and helps to
develop empathy and compassion.
BENEFITS THE WHOLE SCHOOL
COMMUNITY
EDUC 103

By providing a learning
environment that is welcoming and
supportive, inclusive education can
help all students feel noticed and
valued, regardless of their abilities
or differences. This can boost self-
confidence, as students come to see
themselves as capable and valuable
members of the community.
INCREASES SELF-ESTEEM AND
CONFIDENCE AMONG STUDENTS
EDUC 103

Inclusive education also allows for
more significant interaction between
students of different ability levels,
which helps to break down barriers
and misconceptions. As a result,
students in inclusive education
programs tend to have better social
skills than those who are not in
inclusive education programs.

Concerns and Challenges
of
Inclusive Education
EDUC 103

CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUAL PUPILS
- In a diverse classroom all of the children sit together in a
classroom. Many students suffer from different disabilities. It
is very difficult to identify them in a diverse classroom.
THE FOLLOWING ARE VARIOUS ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FACED BY
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS (CWSN) IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION:
EDUC 103
Concerns and Challenges of Inclusive Education

LACK OF ACCESS TO THE MAINSTREAM
- At present, only 4 to 5% of children with special needs out
of 30 million have access to education. Many schools do not
show a willingness to cater to the needs of these children.
EDUC 103

LACK OF AWARENESS AND NEGATIVE ATTITUDE
- The whole idea of inclusive education is defeated due to lack of
awareness, lack of positive attitude and sensitivity on the part of
teachers, classmates, parents and community and as a result these
children experience discrimination.
EDUC 103

LACK OF TRAINED TEACHERS
- Teachers lack competence and will to modify methodology
to serve the needs of children with special needs and other
children.
EDUC 103

LARGE CLASS SIZE
- There are normally 30 to 40 students in a class which makes
individualized attention very difficult. Teachers find it all the more
difficult to give individualized instruction to children with special
needs.
EDUC 103

LACK OF A CHILD-CENTERED AND RELEVANT CURRICULUM
- The curriculum lacks flexibility and does not provide
choice to these children. The teaching-learning material is
also not appropriate for children with and without special
needs.
EDUC 103

LACK OF PROPER INFRASTRUCTURE
- Children with special needs have various types of teaching and
learning aids. In India, most of the schools do not have proper
teaching and learning aids.
EDUC 103

LACK OF PARTICIPATORY ACTIVITIES
- The curriculum lacks flexibility and does not provide
choice to these children. The teaching-learning material is
also not appropriate for children with and without special
needs.
EDUC 103

INVOLVEMENT OF PARENT AND COMMUNITY
- As we know children with learning disabilities pose a lot of
challenges. The non-involvement of parents and the community
becomes a barrier.
EDUC 103

ACCOUNTABILITY
- The lack of accountability of teachers poses challenges in
inclusive education.
EDUC 103

PARTNERSHIP
- This is a partnership among parents, teachers, school and
community, and other stakeholders to make the program a
success. We found that this is missing.
EDUC 103

COLLABORATION OR CONSULTATION
- The collaboration between the different agencies of
education such as government, NGO, and community. We
found that there is a lack of collaboration between them.
EDUC 103

LACK OF SUPPORT
- Children with special needs require consistent, support from
parents and teachers to make satisfactory learning. We found that
there is a lack of support in some schools. There may even be
discrimination for those children with special needs.
EDUC 103

PEER REJECTION
- Peer rejection is one of the main barriers to inclusive
education. Peers generally try to bully and sometimes reject
them. They feel that these children are not a part. of them.
This is one of the major causes of drop out of school.
EDUC 103

LABELING
- Labeling does not help because labeling children with special
needs means categorizing them according to disabilities which
makes them feel rejected
EDUC 103

The future is very bright indeed for children with
special needs despite the mounting challenges
and issues. Inclusive education and classrooms
are able not only to meet the requirements of LRE
for students with disabilities but also to benefit
regular education students as well. We observe
that with exposure, both parents and teachers
become more positive. Training and support
allow regular education teachers to implement
inclusive education with ease and success.
