Abstract
This paper is aimed to explore the teachers’ attitude towards Inclusive Schools for children with special needs. In the past decades, students have faced and experienced a form of exclusion in schools. Some students were excluded on the basis of their caste, class, gender, socio-economic background, disability. When a teacher discriminates between normal and special children, it hinders their overall personality development which further leads to hamper their educational growth. Therefore, there is a need to conduct an attitudinal study of teachers on Inclusive Schools. It is also essential to study previous attitudes for understanding the current attitudes for the current inclusive schemes. The method is used descriptive analysis for the study. The data is collected from last 10 years. The outcome of the study indicates that attitudinal changes have seen from past decades but not at the par. In 21st century still teachers are not have efficient skills to cater the diverse need of the classroom. The challenges include an inability to fulfil the requirements of inclusion, a sense of worry, unfavourable attitudes from stakeholders, bad attitudes from students towards their classmates with disabilities, insufficient finances for suitable teaching resources, and a lack of teamwork among instructors.
