Understanding of Inclusive Education
“Inclusive Education implies that children and youth with special educational needs should be included in the educational arrangements made for the majority of children…. Inclusive Schools must recognize and respond to the diverse needs of students, accommodation of both different styles and rates of learning and ensuring quality education to all through appropriate curricula, organizational arrangements, teaching strategies, resources use and partnerships with their communities.” (UNESCO - Salamanca Statement,1994)

Rational for Inclusive Education
Education of CWVI is more than 100 years old but the present service delivery system have not even covered 5% of the total population of CWVI.
When more than 90% of CWVI are found in the rural areas, majority of the Special School as well as Integrated Education Programmes are located in the Cities/Urban areas.
Due to lack of sensitivity of the general education to the needs of CWVI, even the mild and moderate cases are not attending schools.
Challenges
Societal Attitudes Lack of Awareness Insufficient Government Leadership Lack of proper understanding of the
concept of Inclusion Provision of an Inadequate Additional
Curriculum Poverty
Lack of Inclusion in the Main Teaching and Learning processes taking place in the mainstream classroom
Lack of communication and adequate planning by the class teacher and teaching assistance
Non-availability and Quality of human and material resources
Lack of adequate confidence building programmes for the CWVI
Lack of appropriate Role models involved in the process
Solution of Challenges
Change in Societal Attitudes Organisation of Awareness Programmes Government Initiative Need of Additional Curriculum Process of Inclusive Education should be
build-up Need of Developing Confidence Building
programmes for CWVI Popular personalities required in this field
