DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Education released an in
 clusive education policy (IEP) and launched an inclusive approach in selec
 ted schools\, with the goal of shifting the education system away from spe
 cial education towards a more inclusive system. Students with disability a
 re the intended beneficiaries\, and their interests are central to Saudi A
 rabia’s educational transition to an inclusive education system. This stu
 dy investigates Saudi Arabia’s paradigm shift from special education to i
 nclusive education\, particularly in relation to students with disability.
  This study aims to critically investigate Saudi Arabia’s inclusive educa
 tion policy and the inclusive approach implemented in two girls' primary s
 chools in light of historical\, cultural\, political and social factors—p
 articularly within the international context. The research question addres
 sed in this study centered on what has changed\, in discourse and in pract
 ice\, in the shift from special education to inclusive education in Saudi 
 Arabia.\n\nThis research adopts a critical qualitative stance while leanin
 g more towards post-structuralism. The two data collection methods used in
 clude relevant policy analysis and semi-structured interviews with stakeho
 lder who are directly involved in the development of the inclusive educati
 on policy and the implementation of the inclusive approach in schools. A p
 ost-structural discourse analysis is utilised in this research to investig
 ate issues of power\, privilege and discourse. This study employed Critica
 l Policy Analysis in Education (CPAE)(Young & Diem\, 2017) to analyse poli
 cy documents and Foucauldian discourse analysis (Willig\, 2013) to analyse
  data gained from interview. Inclusive Education Theory (Slee\, 2011\, 201
 8) and Critical Disability Theory (Goodley\, 2011\, 2017) are adopted in t
 his research to help with conceptualisation\, interpretation and analytic 
 thinking.    \n\n\nKeywords: Inclusive education\, special education\, cri
 tical disability studies\, post-structural analysis\, Saudi Arabia.
