Abstract

Inclusive education is a foundational component of the National Education Policy (NEP), which seeks to revolutionize the Indian education system. This summary provides an overview of inclusive education as outlined within the NEP framework. The NEP prioritizes ensuring fair access to high-quality education for all individuals, regardless of their background or abilities, thereby nurturing a varied and inclusive learning environment. It advocates for a transition from a segregated to an integrated approach, accommodating students with disabilities, diverse learning styles, and varying cultural backgrounds. The NEP acknowledges the significance of specialized educators and support structures in facilitating the comprehensive development of each student. This abstract underscores the NEP’s dedication to fostering inclusivity and diversity, fostering a more equitable and cohesive education system in India.
