  • Abstract:
  • Inclusive education is a transformative approach aimed at ensuring the presence, participation, and achievement of all students within the mainstream educational system. Its importance lies in fostering a tolerant and inclusive society by accommodating diverse learners, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses. In India, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aligns with inclusive education principles, emphasizing barrier-free access, assistive technologies, and choice of schooling for children with disabilities. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act, 2016 complements these efforts by advocating for the social inclusion of special children through provisions for educational accommodations and support services. However, the implementation of inclusive education in India faces numerous challenges. These include negative attitudes from teachers, inadequate resources and infrastructure, lack of inclusive curriculum, limited parental awareness, inappropriate support infrastructure facilities and limited educators. To overcome these challenges, concerted efforts are needed. This entails fostering positive attitudes among educators, enhancing resource allocation, developing inclusive curriculum and raising parental awareness. While inclusive education holds immense potential for promoting social equality and educational access, its implementation requires addressing the multifaceted challenges through collaborative efforts from stakeholders.
