Abstract

What themes exist in the Caribbean and international literature for developing indicators of inclusive education (IE)? This is the question that guided this review. The inclusion of Caribbean and international literature in this review was guided by a systematised search and review of literature on IE. The criteria for the studies included in this review were the primary focus on IE and their examination or evaluation of indicators of progress in IE. Contingent on the limited availability of research studies, peer-reviewed conceptual papers supported by primary and secondary sources of data were included. An examination of the methodology of selected studies focused on data gathering, data extraction, and interpretation. The period for included studies was 20 years (2003 to 2023). The findings of the reviews validated several themes identified in international literature: sound policy, professional development and teacher education, teacher quality indicators, resources and finance, and modified curriculum.
