Abstract: Education in the twenty-first century is undergoing rapid transformation due to the expansion of digital technology. Inclusive education aims to ensure that all learners—regardless of their physical ability, socio-economic background, gender, language, or learning capacity—can participate equally in the educational process.
Digital technology has created new opportunities for inclusive education. Through digital tools, assistive technologies, and online learning platforms, students with disabilities or learning challenges can access educational resources more easily than before.
However, technological development has also produced a digital divide. Many students do not have access to digital devices, stable internet connectivity, or the necessary technological skills. This gap may create new inequalities within the education system.
Recent global developments such as the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 forced educational institutions worldwide to shift to online learning. This situation highlighted both the potential and limitations of digital education.
Therefore, it is important to analyze whether digital technology truly helps in promoting inclusive schooling or whether it sometimes acts as a barrier.
The present study focuses mainly on two aspects:
• The role of digital technology in inclusive schooling.
• The challenges and limitations of digital inclusion in education.
Keywords: Education, Digital Technology, Digital Tools, Covid-19.
