ABSTRACT:
Inclusive education is a critical approach for promoting equity and social justice in higher education, particularly in newly-converted universities in South-East Asia. This study aims to identify best practices for inclusive education by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework. Key themes include institutional policies, faculty development, student support systems, curriculum design, and challenges to inclusivity. Findings highlight effective strategies for ensuring accessibility, embracing diversity, and supporting marginalized students. These insights are essential for universities like the State University of Northern Negros (SUNN) as they implement inclusive practices. Recommendations provide a benchmarking framework to guide SUNN in creating an equitable learning environment where all students can thrive.
