Inclusive education is an educational philosophy based on human rights and democratic principles that aim to address educational exclusion faced by learners with disabilities. Its implementation facilitates an education system that fits and responds to the need of all learners particularly, to those living with disabilities. As the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing primary education in Hagadera camp are trying to provide inclusive education for all, overcoming barriers for learners with disabilities remains the most difficult challenge. <\/span><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">This research seeks to better understand<\/span> <span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">the barriers that not only hinder the implementation and provision of inclusive education, but specifically those that lead to the exclusion of learners with disabilities, particularly to those with hearing, vision, and physical impairments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The paper employs a qualitative research design conducting semi-structured interviews for three learners with disabilities and an administrative teacher. The semi-structured questions are guided by the intensive understanding of barriers to the implementation and provision of inclusive education while also addressing some tangible solutions. Findings explore that insufficient teaching and learning resources, exacerbated by the disability-unfriendly environment, ignited the negative attitudes of learners with disabilities and contributed to their discrimination in the classroom and elsewhere. The findings also acknowledged the need to enhance public awareness and sensitization of educational rights of persons with disabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<section class=\"content-wrapper\">\n\t\n<div class=\"cufile\">\n    <a class=\"cufile__link\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAPER-23.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\n        <svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" class=\"cufile__icon\">\n            <use xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#document-pdf\"><\/use>\n            <title>View PDF<\/title>\n            <desc>Document type: PDF<\/desc>\n        <\/svg>\n\n        <div class=\"cufile__meta\">\n            <h3 class=\"cufile__title u-hide-in-toc\">Barriers to Inclusive Education for Learners with Disabilities in Hagadera Refugee Camp\u2019s Primary Schools<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cufile\">\n    <a class=\"cufile__link\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Working_Paper_23_Barriers_Inclusive_Education_Disabilities_Primary_Schools.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\n        <svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" class=\"cufile__icon\">\n            <use xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#document-pdf\"><\/use>\n            <title>View PDF<\/title>\n            <desc>Document type: PDF<\/desc>\n        <\/svg>\n\n        <div class=\"cufile__meta\">\n            <h3 class=\"cufile__title u-hide-in-toc\">PRINT-Barriers to Inclusive Education for Learners with Disabilities in Hagadera Refugee Camp\u2019s Primary Schools<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/a>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<p><strong>View the full LERRN Working Paper Series here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"\">\n\t<p>\n\t\t<a class=\"button__red button__red--solid\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/learn-with-lerrn\/publications\/the-lerrn-working-papers-series\/\" target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LERRN Working Paper Series<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"p1\">DOI<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22215\/glrnw\/254042\">10.22215\/glrnw\/254042<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Citation<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Bashir, A.
