Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the perceptions of private school teachers towards
inclusive education in the Bolgatanga East District. Twenty (20) teachers, comprising 10 males
and females formed the sample size of the study. In-depth interviews that were semi-structured
were used to gather the data. The study used a mixed methodology based on pragmatism
philosophy and reported findings based on participant interviews. The results of the study showed
that while many teachers were aware of what constitute inclusion education, most of the teachers
were unable to implement it due to numerous challenges. These challenges include exclusion by
government in the provision of materials and infrastructure needed for effective implementation.
According to some educators, inclusive education is an effective strategy for guaranteeing equal
access to educational opportunities. According to the study's findings, teachers working in
inclusive schools need to receive training on how to work with pupils who have disabilities.
