        abstract = {Inclusive education is an evolving approach for education of the Children with Special Needs with a focus on equity and social justice. Schools are required to cater to the needs of all types of children. The success of any approach depends on the positive attitude of its stakeholders. Likewise, teachers positive attitude towards inclusive education is one of the most important factors for its successful implementation.
This study examines how gender and type of school influence secondary school teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education in Azamgarh district, Uttar Pradesh. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data was collected from 301 teachers selected through multistage random sampling. Attitudes were measured with a 42-item scale developed by the researchers. Results showed no significant difference in attitudes between male and female teachers. However, teachers in government schools reported significantly more positive attitudes towards inclusive education than those in private schools. There was no significant interaction effect between gender and type of school. These findings highlight the need for targeted efforts to promote positive attitudes towards inclusion, especially in private schools. The study’s results may inform policy and professional development initiatives aimed at strengthening inclusive practices in Indian secondary education.},
