**5. Effect of inclusiveness on students with learning disability**

The popular biblical dictum 'He who created them, created them male and female could be likened to inclusive education and students with learning disability. As it was to close the education gap for children with disabilities, that United Nations International Children Education Fund (UNICEF) supports government efforts to foster and monitor inclusive education systems [15]. Inclusive education is like a fundamental right whereby everyone is equal before the law as there is no disparity as a result of strata of any form. The implication is that in a formal classroom, inclusiveness put into consideration the individual contribution of every student regardless of background which pave way for different group to work together for the good of all. The above aphorism is an affirmation of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Division for Early Childhood (DEC),that the gain of inclusive experiences for students of all sort and their families is that it gives a sense of belonging and membership, positive social relationships and friendships, and development as well as learning to reach their full potential [7].

The integration of inclusiveness in our educational processing in the real sense of it, will expose learners of all sorts including those with learning disability to among other things; mastery of information and communication technologies and other related digital devices; becoming good thinkers, innovative and creative in mind/ action; It will further assist all strata of students to learn and carryout researches on their own and be better placed to acquire information related to their learning that is commensurate to their abilities. It will also broaden students horizons in varying context; exposing them to the happenings outside their jurisdiction; enabling them solve both academic and personal difficulties independently as well as help in increasing students' enthusiasm and desire to learn.

Come to think of it, we are in an era in which the world has become a global village in that almost everyone in including the students are connected to the internet. To this end, the trends of things ranging from climate change, culture and demographic factors, digital revolution and global emerging economy have shaped the way we live globally. These global changes including cultural differences throw open a lot of opportunities for the young and these they must tap into and milk all desirable benefits. All the same, developing a global intellectual outlook is not a straight jacket activity rather a lifelong process which can only be shaped by education [25–29].

Inclusiveness education can also bring about global competence which is a multidimensional capacity. With inclusive education, students with learning disability will acquire globally competent which with it they will be better positioned to scrutinize both local and global issues and intercultural issues. With such knowledge, they can understand and appreciate different perspectives and world views, interact successfully and respectfully with others and also take responsible action towards sustainability and collective well-being (**Figure 1**).
