INTRODuCTION
The purpose of the research was to examine the perceptions of
primary school educators toward inclusive education in Singapore.
The research study sought to provide an understanding of
inclusion as it is practised in Singapore primary schools.
In particular, it examined the features of inclusion and its
implementation; the experiences of primary school teachers;
perceived barriers to and facilitators of inclusion; and the benefi ts
and disadvantages of inclusion. The fi ndings of this study have
implications for teacher training and development, and for
instruction that impacts both typically developing children as well
as children with special needs in mainstream schools.
