ISSUES AND CHALLENGES OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN CONTEXT OF NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY (NEP), 2020

The global concern of education for all has been our focus since last few decades. Inclusive education is an educational system that provides opportunities for marginalized children & other children with special needs to pursue education at mainstream schools along with normal students. Our focus has been on bringing those children into mainstream education who somehow are left out of it. These particularly include Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Groups (SEDGs) such as schedule castes, schedule tribes, OBCs, minorities, girls, third-gender and disabled children. Present paper however focuses particularly upon education of children with disabilities.
