Abstract

Inclusive education is an educational system that accommodates all students,including children with special needs, to learn together in one learning environment.This concept is in line with the Indonesian national education philosophy that upholdsaccess to education without discrimination. The implementation of inclusive educationin Indonesia is based on government regulations, such as the Ministerial Decree No. 70of 2009 and Law No. 20 of 2003 Article 32. Banyu Belik Nature School implements theconcept of inclusive education by integrating the 2013 curriculum, the independentcurriculum, and the adaptive curriculum called the "cassava curriculum". Thisprogram involves nature as the main learning medium and source, as well as developslife skills with an environmental awareness. However, there are several challenges inits implementation, such as the readiness of human resources, supporting facilitiesand infrastructure, public acceptance and attitudes, and policies that are not yet fullysupportive. Efforts that can be made to overcome these challenges include trainingand mentoring for teachers, procurement of accessible facilities, public outreach,policy advocacy, and the establishment of a disability service unit. The success ofinclusive education heavily depends on teacher competencies, collaboration amongstakeholders, and a comprehensive transformation within the education system.
