Instructional Resources and Access to Inclusive Education in Public Primary Schools in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya

The Inclusive Education Policy document was created by the Ministry of Education to offer a framework for the organization and delivery of Special Needs Education free from all impediments to access to high quality and pertinent education. This study looked at how teaching and learning resources and access to inclusive education in public primary schools in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya. In the study, a descriptive survey design was employed. The target group included 384 educators, 48 head teachers, and 1840 students. 48 Head Teachers were chosen using the purposeful sampling technique, and 96 Teachers and 275 Students were chosen using simple random selection, respectively. Data was gathered using questionnaires and interview schedules as the instruments. While qualitative data was transcribed and reported thematically in accordance with the research objectives, quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics like percentages, frequency, mean, and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics like Pearson correlation and regression. The results showed that the lack of learning resources had a detrimental impact on students ability to access inclusive education in public primary schools, and many of these schools in Trans Nzoia County lacked the resources necessary to teach students with special needs. Based on the studys findings, the researcher suggests that the government should take into account funds for schools to purchase the necessary instructional resources for public elementary schools.
