Summary/Abstract: This research aims to investigate the dynamics of processes and interactions among actors in the implementation of inclusive education policy within junior high schools. This study used a multi-case study. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, observation, document analysis, and examination of audiovisual resources. Data were analyzed through the transcript of the result of data interview, observation notes field, and video recordings as well as document, creating idea general sense, data codification, creating themes, and data interpretation. Research findings show that the implementation process of inclusive education policy in schools is influenced by variations in ideology, values, culture, and the distinct qualities of each institution both public and private schools. The headmaster plays a crucial role in implementing successful inclusive education policies. There is no difference in any institution's philosophy, values, culture, and features. Referring to the findings of the studies show that the implementation of a policy throughout institutions cannot be similar due to their distinct backgrounds. For the future researcher, it is recommended that further research should focus on policy efforts to improve teacher training, increase funding, and enhance community awareness to build an inclusive educational environment for all students.
