Inclusive education is crucial because it promotes diversity, acceptance and equity. Accommodating the needs of students with different abilities fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance and encourages collaboration among peers. Students can learn from one another. Students, regardless of their varying abilities have a right to access quality education alongside their peers, promoting social integration and reducing stigmatization. Inclusive education empowers all students to reach their full potential and fosters a culture of respect, empathy and understanding.
