Abstract

Learning or education in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on students, parents, and teachers. The provision of education for vulnerable and disabled groups is no exception. Based on education as a right, efforts to encourage inclusive education have begun with Government Regulation no. 13 of 2020 concerning reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the learning system and forced the parties to adopt tactics. The online approach as remote education is not yet friendly to lower-middle families, as well as vulnerable and disabled groups. This study uses a qualitative approach and secondary data sources to see more clearly the direction of inclusive education during the pandemic. The results of the study show that inclusive education during the pandemic and its effectiveness is highly dependent on the role of the government and local governments in understanding the concept of inclusiveness. The challenge of inclusive education during a pandemic should be a lesson on how to prepare face-to-face learning after the pandemic.
