Abstract
This study assessed the challenges inhibiting effective inclusive education for selected
Kolfe Keranio Sub-city schools in Addis Ababa. Through a qualitative approach and descriptive
design, data collection took place through semi-structured interviews and observation with
general education teachers, school administrators/deans, and SNE specialists. This study found
that critical challenges inhibiting effective inclusion exist in teacher training and funding, access
to assistive technology, and adapted resources for learning and participation. The greatest
challenge inhibiting effective inclusion exists in the ideological approach to an inclusive
education policy, where policy suggestions remain vague and assessments fail. Furthermore, low
stakeholder engagement was noted. As a result, this study concludes that effective inclusion at
these Kolfe Keranio Sub-city schools is challenged and limited by training, resource, policy, and
facilities challenges that can only be addressed with far-reaching critical attention. Time
dedicated to training teachers, redrafting best-practice policy to fit the situational
need,increasing stakeholders engagement.
