“…Some studies pointed out that teachers show positive attitudes towards children with disabilities (Avramidis & Norwich, 2002;Leatherman & Niemeyer, 2005), and this factor is very important for the inclusion process (Beacham & Rouse, 2012). In a certain respect, other researchers stressed that the positive attitudes of teachers and willingness to care for these children in the classroom (Dinnebeil, Mclnerney, Christine, & Juchartz-Pendry, 1998), are very salient factors concerning how successful inclusive practices will be (Stafford & Green, 1996;Saloviita, 2020). But according to other researchers, there are teachers with lack awareness regarding children with autism (Al-Sharbati et al, 2013), and they lack the knowledge, skills, and expertise necessary to support children with SEN (Black-Hawkins, 2012).…”

ATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER's mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people's opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one's opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the 'truth' are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER's name.

The intent of this study was to find out the influence of teacher attitude on effective implementation of inclusive education policy in public primary schools in Kitale Town, Kenya. The study found teacher attitude had a significant influence on the effective implementation of inclusive education policy. Inclusive education is a form of education wherein all students including special needs (SN) learners attend and are received by their neighbourhood schools in age-appropriate regular classes and are supported to learn to participate and contribute in all views of life at school. Neighbourhood public schools being at the heart of our communities are essential for the quality inclusive education system. The research design used for the study was descriptive. Interview schedules, questionnaires, and observation checklists were employed in data collection. The target population was 36 headteachers in the public primary schools in the town and 50 special needs teachers. The sample size was 76 respondents who were selected using purposive and simple random sampling. The validity of data collection tools was determined through pilot study and assistance from supervisors. Reliability was tested using the test-retest method, whereby a value of .92 was obtained. Hypotheses were examined using regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The study recommends that the TSC consider teachers handling special needs learners in inclusive scopes for special duty allowances that are being given to their counterparts working in special schools and the curriculum to be assessed to enhance effective implementation of inclusive education.
