Inclusive education for children with disabilities in Bangladesh: Implementation and challenges

Abstract

The educational system of Bangladesh has gone through many changes in two decades. Inclusive Education (IE) is one of those initiatives taken by the educational system and government of Bangladesh. Many laws were enacted to promote Inclusive Education in Bangladesh. The aim of this current study is to find out the ways of implementation of inclusive education in our country. Besides, the challenges that the teachers face to implement inclusive education will also be investigated. To perform this survey successfully 30 respondents were surveyed with a written questionnaire and few normal learners and teachers were interviewed. The findings from the survey show that inclusive Education is being successfully implemented by the educators of our country. New teachers are also devoting themselves towards this system. In course of implementation challenges evolve because of resource support, attitude of the parents and special learners and proper trainings for the teachers.
