Inclusive Education
“Education is the fundamental right of all children” and “Universalisation of education” is meaningful only when all the children in the age group of 6-14 are in school and get education. In this context the ‘children with special needs’, need to have different programmes to enrol and to retain them in the schools.
Equity- always remains an issue. Our goal also is to reduce the gap in enrolment, retention, completion rates and achievement levels of children with respect to gender and socially disadvantaged groups. It is also necessary to provide education to the children with special needs on par with other normal children.
