| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of teachers in implementing inclusive education practices in Kolfe Keranio sub city primary schools. A qualitative research approach was employed and a case study design used. The study purposively sampled thirty two teachers from five selected primary schools. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were employed as instruments of data collection, and the data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that Primary school teachers have different levels of awareness and understanding when it comes to inclusive education, Teachers accommodate students with special needs despite the fact that some of them do not have qualifications/training in SEN, Teachers experienced varied challenges in implementing the inclusive education for students with special needs The study also established that there are gaps in teachers related to accommodating diverse learning needs and collaborating effectively with support services and finally the study proved that there is a shortage of government consistent follow up and personnel to adequately support inclusive education practices in primary school.
