Abstract
A survey of 91 pre-service teachers from Australia and Singapore was conducted to investigate their attitudes and concerns about implementing inclusive education in regular schools. Results indicated that Australian pre-service teachers were more in favour of including students with disabilities into the regular school compared to their Singaporean counterparts. The findings suggested that the pre-service teachers' beliefs may be significantly influenced by prevailing policies in the county.
