The purpose of this paper is to identify trends in the Sri Lankan Education System.
Sri Lanka has undertaken several educational reforms and increased literacy rates.
Inclusive education has been reformed since 1997 and there is an inclusive education
system in special schools, special needs units and regular classes. Fear of incapacity,
concerns about limited training schemes, lack of incentives for inclusive education and
pressure to pass students’ (GCE) examinations were observed among some regular
class teachers
