Abstract
A body of relevant researches in the field of education of students with disability during the last 40 years has greatly emphasized on the fact that inclusive education has produced superior social and academic outcomes for all students. Research has consistently found that academic and social outcomes for children in completely inclusive settings are without exception better than that in the segregated and also in partially segregated environment, e.g., “Education support units” or “Resource Classrooms”. Segregated education still remains a practice, it is only because of either some historical reasons or because of the families and educators who find it as an appropriate option despite having virtually no evidence basis. The most comprehensive review of the research was undertaken by the Alana Institute and presented an international report entitled “A Summary of the Evidence on Inclusive Education” in 2017, prepared by Dr. Thomas Hehir, Professor of Practice in Learning Differences at the Harward Graduate School of Education.
