| Summary: | Globally it is estimated that about 150 million children are living with disabilities. Inclusive education inspires the participation of all students in the learning process in the same classroom. However, it is really difficult to find thorough, credible accounts of disabled children's access to education, enrolment, attendance, and results. This review evaluated academic performance, including access to school, enrolment, attendance, and results of Children with disabilities (CWD) in LMICs. In reporting this systematic review, the researchers followed the recommended Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) reporting standards. The authors conducted searches using Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar electronic databases. The study's major findings indicate that CWDs in inclusive schools perform poorly academically compared to their non-disabled peers. Consequently, the researchers recommend more primary research to evaluate the academic performance of CWDs and the progress of inclusive education in LMICs.
