In Pakistan, where the subject of special/inclusive education is still taboo, there is a need to promote inclusivity in education. However, the journey begins at the grassroots level by accommodating children with disabilities in a mainstream setup at the primary level. This paper presents the findings of an exploratory research study conducted in an inclusive private primary school in Karachi, Pakistan. This case study research draws on the pedagogical practices of classroom teachers in a private primary inclusive school in Karachi where children with disabilities study alongside their peers who do not have special educational needs or disabilities. The research study aimed to explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threat factors that could optimize the teaching and learning process of children with special educational needs (CWSN) or children with disabilities (CWD) in the context of an inclusive school located in Karachi, Pakistan. Through an analysis of 16 semi-structured interviews and multiple classroom and field observations, teachers’ understandings of their school’s institutional values and their pedagogical practices to accommodate children with disabilities and inclusion were explored. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a SWOT–thematic qualitative method. The results of the SWOT analysis indicate how an inclusive school caters to the strengths of CWD and provides them with opportunities to sustain themselves in an educational setup.

Human resource development stimulates sustainable economic growth of a country. In Pakistan, 16 percent of children aged 5-16 not attending school. The out-of-school children, due to socio-economic and cultural reasons, are deprived of their fundamental right to education and face bleak economic and social prospects. To uncover the varying perspectives of the educational experts, schools, parents and children, semi-structured interviews and surveys will be conducted. The use of technology, model of schooling, parental behavior, smart schooling amongst others drive the high dropout rate in public schools and discourage others from enrolling. Through quantifying the key underlying reasons obstructing access to education, this study aims to capture the local nuances and facilitate the policy makers to design the policy framework with efficient allocation of resources, in order to improve enrollment rates of out-of-school children.
