Paper Summary:
This paper examines how educational institutes throughout the country are seriously considering inclusive education since there is a growing consensus that specialized education systems have not bought forth the expected results. It discusses how specialized education systems, which were developed for children with various degrees of learning disabilities, have proved to be more of a problem than a solution. It analyzes how inclusive education on the other hand would not only improve the social skills of these special students (where they get a chance to mingle with others) but also develop the tolerance of the normal students. Through a literature review and study proposal, it evaluates the factors involved in the implementation of inclusive education system with an emphasis on the role of teachers.

From the Paper:
"From the psychological perspective as well secluded education is more damaging. Inclusive education on the other hand would not only improve the social skills of these special students (where they get a chance to mingle with others) but also develop the tolerance of the normal students. Though, among parents there is division in opinion regarding inclusive education in majority of cases they seem to favor inclusive education as being more productive from a futuristic perspective of the students. "Both research and anecdotal data have shown that typical learners have demonstrated a greater acceptance and valuing of individual differences, enhanced self-esteem, a genuine capacity for friendship, and the acquisition of new skills.""
