Abstract: Inclusive education can be achieved through a combination of teacher training, curriculum modification, and the provision of appropriate accommodations and supports. Addressing the barriers to inclusive education requires a multifaceted approach, providing resources, promoting positive attitudes towards students with disabilities, and ensuring physical accessibility. By implementing these strategies, schools can create an inclusive education system that supports equal student opportunities. Similarly, this paper reviews some strategies that can be employed to address these barriers such as; Universal Design for Learning, Collaborative Team Teaching, Peer- Mediated Instruction, Assistive Technology and Positive Behaviour Supports. However, for all children to have the chance to realise their full potential, encouraging equity in the classroom within an inclusive education system is crucial. The study was a cross-sectional research design. It traces the academic records of the students from their third term results. A sample of 550 respondents was adopted and two measuring instruments were utilized. The finding shows that teachers can contribute to developing a more just and equitable society by recognising and eliminating prejudices and fostering a positive learning environment.
