Abstract
A pedagogical strategy known as inclusive education seeks to involve differently abled learners alongside their counterparts without impairments. This method is based on the idea of educating university students with disabilities in general education classes that all students ought to have equal access to learning opportunities and settings, irrespective of their skill levels. Legislative requirements, educational changes, and a growing awareness of the rights of people with disabilities have all contributed to the global adoption of the inclusive education idea. The study aims to analyse the effect of Inclusive Education on the academic performance of students with disabilities. The study is a mixed methods study. The study used desktop research to show that inclusive education positively impacts the academic performance of students with disabilities. Furthermore the study combines qualitative and quantitative information from academic performance records. A sophisticated knowledge of the academic experiences of students with disabilities in inclusive settings is made possible by this all-encompassing approach. The study has the following recommendations: Governments and educational institutions should develop and implement policies that promote inclusive education and provide equal opportunities for students with disabilities. Moreover, training and support for teachers is essential as Teachers should receive training and support to effectively teach and support students with disabilities in inclusive classrooms. The conclusion is that inclusive education positively impacts the academic performance of students with disabilities.
