Inclusive education is designed to provide equitable learning opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities such as blindness. This article reviews the impact of inclusive programs on the character development and attitudes of blind pupils. It explores the benefits of inclusive education, the challenges faced by blind students, and the role of educators and peers in fostering a supportive learning environment. The findings suggest that inclusive programs positively influence the character development and attitudes of blind pupils, enhancing their self-esteem, social skills, and overall educational experience.
