The transformative power of inclusive education

THE Education Ministry’s commitment to expanding access for students with special educational needs is commendable. Yet, while strides have been made in special needs education, the true test of progress lies in fostering genuine inclusion, where students with disabilities are not merely placed in mainstream classrooms but are embraced as valued members of the school community.

At the heart of this effort is the building of healthy peer relationships that have a direct relationship with social acceptance, as posited by numerous research papers in the area.
