Abstract
Inclusive Education has gained sufficient ground in developed systems. Its extension to Pakistan and elsewhere emerged as a result of "Islamabad Declaration on Inclusive Education 2005". Government of Pakistan Ministry of Education in collaboration with UNESCO organized this National Consultation on Inclusive Education. This study intended to measure the attitudes of key stakeholders, teachers, head teachers, (managers) of the pilot project towards this initiative. Attitudinal scale and interview process will be evolved to collect the field-based data, together with school profiles to measure the level of their commitment. Statistical treatment in the form of tables, charts and graphs was assigned to the raw data. Factor analysis and other relevant analytic tools were equally used. Analysis of the data yielded that the teachers and head teachers were well aware of the concept of inclusive education. Integration of the two groups was at initial stage. Its full reorganization would gain ground with increased training. Socialization and developing belongingness, patterns of personality development and Health facilities, increased mothers' involvement formed major gaps for future research.
Author Keywords: Inclusive Education, Attitude, Parents, Teacher, Manager.
