Both countries share cultural similarities yet differ significantly in their education governance. Understanding these differences is crucial for improving inclusive education policies and practices. Methods This study employed qualitative document analysis, reviewing 33 policy and implementation documents from Indonesia and Oman. The analysis focused on five dimensions: service models, teacher training, curriculum adaptation, community involvement, and cultural attitudes. Results and Conclusions Findings reveal that Oman\u2019s centralized system provides consistent policy coordination but limits community participation and school flexibility. Indonesia\u2019s decentralized system allows greater local innovation and community involvement but leads to disparities in implementation quality. Both countries struggle with teacher training, curriculum adaptation, and cultural stigma against disabilities. Effective inclusive education requires a balanced approach combining adaptive centralization and equitable decentralization, ongoing teacher development, flexible curricula, active community engagement, and cultural transformation. These insights offer practical recommendations to strengthen inclusive education in diverse socio-political contexts.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.171420.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,31]],"date-time":"2025-12-31T08:34:21Z","timestamp":1767170061000},"page":"1361","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Inclusive Education Implementation in Oman and Indonesia: A Comparative Analysis Study"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1243-1986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siti","family":"Masyithoh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed Ali","family":"Loukam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1043-9311","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asep Ediana","family":"Latip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andayani","family":"Andayani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3332-4506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mochammad Noviadi","family":"Nugroho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nuraida","family":"Nuraida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4093-3679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rika","family":"Sa'diyah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ati","family":"Kusmawati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mu'arif","family":"SAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15-34","DOI":"10.1007\/s11125-008-9055-0","article-title":"Making education for all inclusive: Where next?","volume":"38","author":"M Ainscow","year":"2008","journal-title":"Prospects."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203967157","author":"M Ainscow","year":"2006","journal-title":"Improving schools, developing inclusion."},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"31-36","article-title":"Kebijakan pendidikan inklusif: Implementasinya pada satuan pendidikan dasar di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan.","volume":"2","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
