Typically, children with unique educational challenges are separated into various learning contexts. Despite the fact that this education strategy has been established for a while, various researchers and analysts have questioned its effectiveness. Recently, inclusion has gained popularity as a universal educational issue. To be specific, according to the inclusive education model, disabled children should get an equitable education opportunity. Most academics agree that engaging kids with special education needs in mainstream classes can improve their learning opportunities. However, in order to successfully implement mainstreaming education in China, lots of challenges are needed to be overcome. In the essay, the following are some of the challenges to providing an inclusive education for students in China with special educational needs: the available technology is inaccessible, mainstream schools neglect their duty to educate students with impairments, and parents of such youngsters are not well equipped for online learning. Furthermore, this paper presents some suggestions to enhance the inclusive education for disabled individuals. Overall, the current inclusive educational pedagogy is the subject of discussion in relation to recent research perspectives on analyzing and overcoming it.
