<![CDATA[Inclusive education in the Netherlands is an educational approach that integrates students with special needs into mainstream schools to ensure equal learning opportunities for all learners. This study aims to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of inclusive education policies in Dutch using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Articles were collected from Scopus and Google Scholar databases using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria with keywords such as “inclusive education,” “Netherlands education system,” “special needs education,” and “inclusive education policy.” From an initial 110 articles, 24 publications from the period 2020–2025 were selected for analysis. The analysis was conducted descriptively to examine research trends based on publication year, location, and methodology, and thematically to identify key patterns in the implementation of inclusive education. The findings indicate that inclusive education policy in the Netherlands is supported by a flexible and decentralized system, allowing schools to adapt learning according to students’ needs. In addition, teacher support, teaching assistants, and educational innovations contribute to strengthening inclusive practices in ds. However, challenges remain, including inconsistencies in implementation across schools, limited teacher competence, and the persistence of subtle segregation practices. Overall, the success of inclusive education in the Netherlands depends not only on policy design but also on human resource readiness, system support, and consistent implementation in practice.]]>
