Abstract
This study conducted a SWOT analysis of inclusive education (IE) practices and their impact on academic performance at the elementary level in Punjab, Pakistan. Using a quantitative method and survey design, data were collected from a sample of 386 primary school teachers (215 male, 171 female), selected through stratified random sampling across Bhakkar, Layyah, and Mianwali districts of the province of Punjab. A validated 75-item closed-ended questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = .789–.927) was used for gathering required data whereas inferential analyses of the collected data were done using independent samples t-tests and linear regression. Findings of the study indicate that teachers hold strong conceptual awareness of IE and recognize its social and academic benefits. Regression analysis confirmed a strong positive impact of IE on academic performance (R = .842, R² = .709, p < .001). No significant gender differences were found for strengths, weaknesses, or opportunities; however, male teachers perceived systemic threats more strongly than female teachers (t = 2.000, p < .05). The study recommends targeted policy reforms, teacher capacity-building, and institutional collaboration to advance SDG-4 goals in Punjab.
