Abstract
This study evaluates the status of inclusive education implementation and the quality of experiences encountered by teachers in teaching learners with special educational needs (LSENs). The findings reveal that inclusive education practices are generally well-implemented, with effective class size management, substantial stakeholder support, trained teachers, and strong teacher collaboration. Additionally, teachers report very satisfactory experiences, with opportunities for professional development, adequate instructional materials, supportive administration, and active parental involvement. However, the study finds a negligible and statistically insignificant correlation between the status of inclusive education implementation and the quality of teachers' experiences. This indicates that while inclusive education practices are robust, they do not significantly influence teachers' experiences. The findings highlight the need for continuous support and development to enhance the overall effectiveness and impact of inclusive education.
