THE ROLE OF INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

The Role of Inclusive School

Abstract

As important as education is, every child has the right to get a proper education regardless of their religious background, ethnicity, economy and social status. Likewise, in the view in Islam, education is not only given to children who have physical completeness, but also to children who have physical or mental disabilities and deficiencies, because humans have the same rights before Allah SWT. With the increasing number of children with special needs, it should be balanced with the birth of inclusive schools and the increase in special education teachers. In this case, the direction of inclusive schools towards Children with Special Needs is needed. Due to the large number of children with special needs who are physically and mentally different from other normal children, they also need special treatment to handle them. The inclusive school is a place where children with special needs are mixed with other normal children in the hope that children with special needs can make friends and live normally like other normal children. This paper is structured to describe the role of inclusive schools for children with special needs.
