INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AT HIGHER SECONDARY LEVEL- A CASE STUDY
Jasmine Mathew, Dr. M. K. Joseph
Abstract:
India has formulated its education policy to attain the fourth sustainable development
goal of the United Nations. The new education policy revived the inclusive education programs in
Indian schools. At this point, it is crucial to evaluate the implementation of inclusive programs,
understand their status, and identify measures to strengthen them. This paper describes the case
study of a higher secondary school that admits students under the Inclusive Education for
Disabled at Secondary Stage scheme. Although this study demonstrates the inclusive environment
the school provides for students with special needs, the absence of trained professionals such as
special educators and social workers casts shade on the programs effectiveness.
