MUMBAI: At a time when the Right to Education (RTE) Act is being implemented in full swing across Maharashtra, a lot is being done for inclusive education in the true sense of the term.
"The government and the BMC are bringing in several changes to the education system as well as school infrastructure for the differently abled," said Farida Lambay of Pratham, a social organization that works towards providing education to the underprivileged.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA) statistics point out that currently there are close to 3.2 lakh students with special needs across Maharashtra. Of these, 9,188 are from Mumbai. "We are focusing on wiping away the term 'disabled' from the education system and, therefore, focusing on helping all children complete their education. The government has already started training teachers in special education across Maharashtra," said a senior SSA official. "Parents of differently abled students have a lot of insecurities. We are holding counselling sessions for parents to help them understand that the government provides everything needed for children."
