Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Mainstream Primary Education of Bangladesh <Review>

Over the years Bangladesh has shown a remarkable progress in primary education. Inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream primary education is also increasing year by year. But in the context of quality teachinglearning for all, Bangladesh is still a far away from effective inclusive education. Inclusive education requires some additional arrangement within the mainstream system that is really a challenge. The present paper reports on the prevailing situation of education of students with disabilities in general education setting and reviews the inclusive education related policies and legislation framework existing in Bangladesh. This paper also suggests further initiatives and strategies that must be taken into consideration for the effective inclusion in primary education of Bangladesh.
