The purpose of this study was to assess the the attitudes of teachers towards
inclusive education in Likuyani North Zone Lugali District, Kenya

towards inclusive education; investigate the factors that influence teachers
opinion towards inclusion; and examine the effects of teachers' attitudes on
performance of special education students
The methods used for data collection were questionnaires to the teachers in
inclusive schools who were part of the study.
The findings revealed the teachers had negative opinions towards the children
with special needs, the nature and the severity of the disabilities influences the
attitudes of the teachers, teachers who feel unprepared and fearful to work with
learners with disabilities in regular classes display frustration, anger and negative
attitude toward inclusive; and The lower expectations influenced student-teacher
interactions
The study recommended that, the government should build infrastructure that is
conducive for pupils with disabilities so that they fit in an inclusive setting. This
would also enable the teachers to become confident enough to teach
handicapped learners because there would be facilities to do so
More teachers should be trained in the areas of special needs education so that
they gain necessary knowledge and skills to handle and care for children with
disabilities
