Inclusive education aims to educate students with special needs alongside their non-disabled peers. However, implementing inclusive education faces challenges such as a lack of resources, large class sizes, and teachers who are not properly trained. It is also difficult to change social attitudes towards disability, involve parents who resist inclusion, and link research to practical classroom instruction. Overcoming these issues and challenges is necessary to successfully establish inclusive education programs.
