Abstract

This manuscript is about the study conducted in order to establish the views of students at Kwame Nkrumah University concerning the inclusion of learners with disabilities. Three objectives were administered, and these were to establish the views of students concerning the inclusion of learners with disabilities, to identify the benefits of inclusive education and to determine what should be done to promote inclusive education. The findings were that, there is positive treatment of learners with disabilities and that they are able to learn with others who are not disabled, they need modified curriculum and more resources, the environment is being modified bit by bit. It was also found that, some teaching methods being used are not suitable. Among the benefits realised from inclusive education which were established through the views of students were that, some learning materials are given to learners with disabilities, there is social and academic interaction between learners with and without disabilities, there is positive attitude towards learners with disabilities in inclusive setting, equality and the right to education are being realised. Concerning what has to be done to improve inclusive education students views were that there is need for awareness campaign about inclusive education, more learning materials are needed, modification of existing teaching methods and infrastructure is needed and positive language towards learners with disabilities is required.
