Abstract Studies advocating for student voice to be included in the debate of inclusive education have been conducted, however, little is known about how the other stakeholders respond to the messages within student voice. This article examines the response of principals and teachers in Indonesia to the voice of primary school students and their representations of inclusive education. Principals and teachers were generally receptive to the messages they were hearing about the impact of their language of inclusion on students, year retention, and the continued separation of students in all education matters on the basis of disability. While the implications for the future development of inclusive education are examined, the researchers also explore the issues related to adults listening and empowering the student voice.
