Inclusive Education Essay by CalDR

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.
