Abstract
This paper is an examination of the inclusive education policies for marginalized children in Indonesia. Millions of poor, remote, disabled, and ethnic minority children continue to suffer from systemic barriers despite constitutional guarantees. Through policy analysis and empirical research, the evolution of inclusive education policies from segregated to inclusive models, structural barriers, economic barriers, cultural barriers, and pedagogical barriers will be examined. The effectiveness of strategies such as BOS funding, teacher training, and curriculum modification will also be analyzed. The major barriers identified in the study will be resource constraints, teacher competency, discriminatory mindsets, and lack of coordination. Some effective strategies have been commitment from leadership, engagement with communities, and inter-sectoral collaboration. This study provides analytical frameworks for effective inclusive education for the most marginalized children in Indonesia.
