What is Regular Education

Inclusive education is an approach that promotes diversity and equal educational opportunity among all learners, regardless of any differences they may possess. It is the process of reform in education that embodies modification in structures, content, approaches, teaching methods and strategies in a bid to provide all learners with age-appropriate, participatory, and equitable leaning experiences in environments that best meets and responds to their diverse educational needs. While inclusive education is an extensive concept that encompasses all types of learners, for this chapter, the term will focus on learners with disabilities. This is because, despite the introduction and adoption of the inclusive education approach globally, several barriers still impede its implementation and practice, forming the substance of this chapter. This chapter, thus, delves into the benefits, barriers, and strategies of intervening on barriers to inclusive education.
