Background of the study:
Students with disabilities often encounter multiple barriers in accessing quality education, ranging from inadequate infrastructural facilities to social stigmatization. In Ife North, efforts to integrate inclusive education have met with challenges such as insufficient specialized resources, lack of trained personnel, and limited policy implementation (Akinwale, 2024). The educational environment frequently fails to accommodate the unique needs of students with disabilities, which affects their academic performance and overall self-esteem. Despite government policies aimed at inclusivity, the gap between policy and practice remains wide. Inclusive education requires not only physical adaptations but also a supportive attitude from teachers, parents, and the community (Obi, 2025). The interplay of economic, social, and institutional factors has resulted in persistent challenges that hinder the educational progress of these students. This study seeks to examine the specific challenges faced by students with disabilities in Ife North, evaluating both infrastructural shortcomings and attitudinal barriers. It also aims to identify best practices and propose practical recommendations for improving access to quality education for all learners (Akinwale, 2024).
Statement of the problem:
Students with disabilities in Ife North face significant obstacles in accessing quality education. These challenges include inadequate physical facilities, insufficient specialized teaching methods, and social discrimination. Such barriers adversely affect their academic achievement and overall development. The study intends to identify and analyze these challenges to recommend strategies that could improve educational inclusivity (Obi, 2025).
Objectives of the study:
- To identify the challenges faced by students with disabilities in accessing education.
- To assess the impact of these challenges on academic performance.
- To propose strategies to enhance educational inclusivity.
Research questions:
- What are the primary barriers to quality education for students with disabilities?
- How do infrastructural and attitudinal challenges affect academic outcomes?
- What interventions can improve inclusivity in education?
Research Hypotheses:
- H₁: Inadequate facilities significantly impede access to quality education for disabled students.
- H₂: Negative attitudes from educators adversely affect the learning experiences of students with disabilities.
- H₃: Targeted interventions improve educational outcomes for disabled students.
Significance of the study:
This study is significant as it highlights the barriers to quality education faced by students with disabilities in Ife North. Its findings will guide policymakers and educational stakeholders in developing inclusive strategies and improving support systems (Akinwale, 2024; Obi, 2025).
Scope and limitations of the study:
The study is limited to examining the challenges encountered by students with disabilities in accessing quality education in Ife North Local Government Area and does not extend to other forms of educational barriers.
