Abstract

This paper examines the ongoing barriers to learning within inclusive education environments, to promote equitable access and meaningful participation for all learners. Rooted in the principles of equity, diversity, and social justice, inclusive education aims to create learning environments where every learner, regardless of ability, background, or identity, can thrive. Despite this ideal, systemic challenges, such as rigid curricula, insufficient educator training, socioeconomic inequalities, and prevailing attitudinal biases, continue to obstruct full inclusion. Utilising current research, policy reviews, and case studies from various educational settings, the paper highlights both structural and pedagogical factors that contribute to the marginalisation of learners. This study advances the understanding of overcoming barriers to learning within inclusive education environments. Ultimately, it asserts that addressing these barriers is not only a technical challenge but a moral obligation, demanding a collective effort to transform education systems into inclusive spaces of belonging, empowerment, and opportunity for all.
