Inclusive education has been taking significant importance for the education of persons with disabilities (PWD’s) for a few decades.

For cross-validation, an interview schedule was made to take data from 17 students with disabilities. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used.Findings: The study found that there was no significant difference of inclusive education opportunities in rural and urban secondary schools of Punjab.Implications/Originality/Value: However special students denied various opportunities claimed by the inclusive education teachers.
