5. 1. Negative attitude of parents :
• For successful
implementation of
inclusive education is
mainly depends on the
support from the
parents of the children
with disabilities. Some
parents do not like to
bring their children
with disabilities, which
may become the
barrier in implementing
inclusive education.

6. 2. Negative attitude of teachers :
• Teachers play a key role in
inclusive education.
Negative attitude of
teachers towards
disabilities and
marginalized children and
inclusion of such children
in education is a challenge
and gives birth to major
barriers of inclusive
education.

7. 3. Lack of good transportation facilities :
• The provision of
transportation facilities
for the special child is an
important factor for
successful
implementation of
inclusive education. But
lack of such facilities
hampers their access to
education with dignity
and equality.

8. 4. Poor collaboration of the local community :
• Inclusive education is a
matter of strong
collaboration between
the state and
government, NGO and
local communities. But
in general local
government is poor,
they are lacking spare
time and resources for
practicing inclusive
values in real.

9. 5. Inadequate teachers training
• Many teachers are never
taught how to teach children
with disabilities or generally
how to teach in a child
friendly, active way.

10. 6. Inadequate supports
• It is not possible to run inclusive
education programme without
financial resources support.
Inadequate funding can hinder
ongoing professional
development that helps keep
specialists and classroom
teachers update on the least
practices.

11. 7. School Barriers
• It is very difficult for a teacher to give individual attention in a large
size of class. The normal size of class include 50 to 60 students in
addition to this a teacher finds more difficult with children with
disabilities or special child.

12. How to overcome barriers in inclusive education

13. 1. Financial support
• Financial support should be
provided to schools so that
they can effectively run
inclusive education programs.

14. 2. Provide basic facilities
• To overcome the barrier to
the success of inclusive
education, the basic needs of
the disabled learners must be
fulfilled. If they get the
required support and healthy
environment, success of
inclusive education is
inevitable.

15. 3. Appropriate Curriculum
• Curriculum should be flexible so that
students can choose subjects
according to their interests. It should
be designed keeping in mind the
individual differences so that each
child gets ample opportunities to
explore his talent and creativity.

16. 4. Trained teachers
• Trained teachers should be hired
by the institutions to deal with
the disabled learners. They
should work collaboratively with
other teachers to solve the
problems of disabled students.

17. 5. Awareness programmes
• Awareness programmes should be
run by governments, NGOs and
other higher institutions to assist
parents in realizing the importance
of inclusive education.
