Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perspectives held by primary school educators towards the inclusive education system. The sample for the research consisted of fifty primary school teachers, with an equal gender distribution (twenty-five male and twenty-five female). These fifty instructors were drawn from a variety of schools in SBS Nagar that were associated with the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB). The Attitudes towards Inclusive Education Scale, or ATIES, was established by Wilczenski in 1992 and was used to gather the data. The major purpose of this research was to investigate the perspectives of educators on the inclusion of kids with special needs into conventional classroom settings. The following conclusions drawn from the findings of the study: i) The attitudes of male and female educators towards inclusive education did not vary significantly from one another. ii) When compared primary teachers who had  more than five years of teaching experience with less experience teachers, primary teachers who had less than five years of teaching experience had more positive views towards inclusive education.
