Abstract
This research looked into the inclusive education program of the College of Teacher Education of Cebu Normal University (CNU). Factors like IQ, academic achi��vement, and teaching potential of the hearing impaired students were established. Views/perceptions on mainstreaming and problems met in the implementation were considered as basis for policy directions. The study revealed that most of the hearing impaired students had low intelligence quotients. Their potential for teaching was very low . On the preparation of teachers handling the hearing impaired, it was found out that most teachers were doctoral and masters degree holders but they lacked special training in handling the mainstreamed class. On views on the program, the administrators, students and parents involved in inclusive education at CNU believed that the program was laudable and they fully supported it. The teachers perceived the program as responsive to the needs of special students. However, some teachers were not supportive of the program. Problems like lack of more responsive curricular offerings , academic achievement and teacher capability have to be addressed to improve program implementation.
