This study, grounded in a learner-centered approach, investigates teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education with reference to gender, years of teaching experience, and urban-rural background. To achieve this, null hypotheses were formulated, and statistical methods including mean, median, standard deviation, and t-test were applied for data analysis. Data were collected through a self-constructed questionnaire administered using purposive sampling. The study population consisted of 2500 elementary school teachers from West Tripura and 1,500 elementary school teachers from South Tripura, from which a representative sample of 200 teachers was selected. The findings aim to provide insights into the factors influencing teachers’ perceptions of inclusive education, thereby contributing to policy and practice in the field of teacher education and educational reform.
