Inclusive Physical Education: Gender, Disability, and Equity

##article.abstract##

Inclusive Physical Education (IPE) highlights equal forecasts for participation in physical activity for all students, regardless of gender, disability, or socio-cultural background. In recent years, global educational charters have painted the importance of equity and inclusion in physical education to endorse holistic improvement, social justice, and lifelong health. This paper critically examines inclusive physical education with specific reference to gender equity, disability inclusion, and broader equity concerns. The study highlights the role of policy frameworks, teacher preparedness, adaptive curriculum design, and supportive learning environments in achieving inclusive physical education. It concludes that systematic implementation of inclusive strategies can significantly enhance participation, self-esteem, and well-being among diverse student populations.
