This paper explores the importance of adapting curriculum design to foster inclusive education in diverse classrooms. With growing diversity in educational settings, it is imperative for educators and policymakers to implement instructional strategies and curriculum frameworks that address the varied needs of all students, including those with disabilities, different cultural backgrounds, and diverse learning abilities. Through a review of existing literature, this paper highlights key strategies and frameworks for creating an inclusive curriculum, discusses the barriers to inclusion, and suggests ways to overcome these obstacles. The findings emphasize the importance of teacher professional development, collaboration, and resource allocation in promoting inclusivity in the classroom.
