Inclusive Education
The National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, recognises education as a powerful tool for achieving social justice and equity, underlining the importance of inclusive education as a means to promote an inclusive community and society.By integrating the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion into the education system, we pave the way for wider access to schooling, increased participation in the workforce, and lifelong learning opportunities for learners of all backgrounds and abilities. This not only benefits individual students but also contributes to the overall development and well-being of society.
A key aspect of putting the policy into practice is to remove educational barriers and ensure that facilities and services are accessible to all learners, including children with special needs (CWSN). The NEP, 2020, recognises the importance of disability inclusion and dedicates a chapter to equitable and inclusive education. This chapter focuses on identifying and addressing issues and challenges related to disability inclusion in education, as well as providing recommendations to bridge gaps in access and participation for all learners and reduce inequalities.
By actively incorporating these principles into educational policies and practices, we can work toward building a more inclusive and equitable society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the fullest extent of their abilities.
Facilities available for CWSN
KVS adopts inclusiveness in education and provides facilities for CWSN (children with special needs), which include a range of support systems designed to meet the needs and requirements of children with different types of disabilities. Provision of ramps and special toilets, availability of special teachers, etc.Training and Development
