Abstract

Inclusive Education has transformed the very attitude toward providing such equitize opportunities to the students, based on ability, gender, socio-economic background, or ethnicity. A history of the underpinnings of this inclusive education includes tracing the backhand exclusions that followed until developing fully integrated systems. Its scope around the world and regionally traces its journey in milestones and changing philosophical underpinnings alongside theoretical frameworks. Such knowledge is helpful in allowing significant matters in the policy and practice of education in the future.
