Abstract
This chapter puts inclusive education in the spotlight. It further interrogates its implementation; roles and responsibilities of various role-players; the extent to which inclusive education has succeeded or failed and its future prospects. The writing of this chapter comes in the wake of a realization that most people are underestimating the socio-educational and human rights value inclusive education has and is as well striving to maintain. The methodology employed in the writing of this chapter is purely literature review. A literature review helps the author in several ways. The initial search terms among others included: community members, diversity, human rights, inclusive education, mainstream schools, and social justice. The retrieved materials were analysed, synthesised and organised into themes.
