Inclusive Education

Our education system must be of inclusive nature. This will provide an amicable situation for children to learn. It focuses more on disability and special educational needs. What is inclusive education? It is about refusal to accept segregation based on physical ability, gender, race, status, language, ethnic origin and so on. It also means that inclusive schools are open to all students and satisfy all student needs. It is not that easy as it sounds. It is a continuing process and the system needs to be strengthened over time. The teachers play a very important role in inclusive education. They need to develop games and syllabi which are competitive and also accommodate the interests of all the participating parties. There are many reasons to adopt inclusive education. It promotes human rights, good education and good social sense. One teacher who supports inclusive education raised a very interesting question during the age old debate on inclusive education. Her question was, “Are we trying to protect children from each other by encouraging segregated schools?” Inclusive education is known to build friendships and remove any sort of fear. I believe inclusive education is the step towards tolerance and is the means to an efficient education system.
