This paper has been designed to evaluate teacher competency and inclusive learning classroom environment at the tertiary level. The main purpose is to consolidate published scholarship on teacher competency and inclusive learning classroom environments in higher education. This review paper seeks to give a laconic picture of teacher competency and learning environment in various domains. Hence, this paper has been based on the key findings of various studies. The study findings assert the effects of teacher competency on an inclusive learning classroom environment. It also points out the brief aspects of the inclusive learning classroom environment. A glance at the number of studies corroborates that inclusivity, teacher competency, and learning environment at higher education institutions.
