The provision of education for all in an inclusive manner is spelt out in several international policies and in the sustainable and millennium development goals. The implementation in practice though remains a challenge in most developing countries where financial and human resource capacity is low. This chapter explores the expected developments in inclusive education defined by various international agreements and policies and compares them to the reality using several named case studies of developing countries. It is evident that many agreements are in place with good intentions to develop the educational sector in the regions. However, infrastructural challenges, limited personnel training, retrogressive cultural beliefs, inaccessibility to schools, and poor-quality education hinder the full realization of inclusive education for individuals with disabilities. In line with these challenges, this chapter proposes several recommendations to alleviate the highlighted challenges.

The evolution of strain hardening behavior of the Fe 50 (CoCrMnNi) 50 medium-entropy alloy as a function of the fraction of recrystallized microstructure and the grain size was studied using the Hollomon and Ludwigson equations. The specimens under study were partially recrystallized, fully recrystallized with ultrafine-grained microstructure, and fully recrystallized with coarse grains. The yield strength decreases steadily as the fraction of recrystallized microstructure and grain size increases due to the recovery process and the Hall-Petch effect. Interestingly, the bimodal grain distribution was found to have a significant impact on strain hardening during plastic deformation. For instance, the highest ultimate tensile strength was exhibited by a 0.97 μm specimen, which was observed to contain a bimodal grain distribution. Furthermore, using the Ludwigson equation, the effect of the bimodal grain distribution was established from the behavior of K 2 and n 1 curves. These curves tend to show very high values in the specimens with a bimodal grain distribution compared to those that show a homogenous grain distribution. Additionally, the bimodal grain distribution contributes to the extensive Lüders strain observed in the 0.97 μm specimen, which induces a significant deviation of the Hollomon equation at lower strains.
