Abstract

Inclusive education is a transformative approach, ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students, irrespective of their abilities, backgrounds, or differences. This study focuses on assessing the psychological well-being of IP students in higher education. To achieve this, a descriptive non-experimental research approach was employed, with data collected from currently enrolled IP students in a public higher education institution in the Philippines using a census sampling technique. The findings underscore a preference among IP students for the education program, with a majority of female students in the institution. The overall status of the psychological well-being of IP students is notably positive, reflecting a high degree of well-being. While the choice of academic program does not significantly affect their well-being, (sex) gender emerges as a key factor influencing the psychological well-being of IP students. These results can be leveraged to enhance the higher education experience for IP students by taking into account the critical aspect of psychological well-being.
