Policies and Strategies in Inclusive Education

Abstract

According to Jenny Corbett (2001), “Inclusion is not just about disability but concerns a school climate and culture which welcomes and celebrates differences and recognises individual needs.”The society where the disabled lives becomes competitive and lags behind in the run of his/her life. Such deprivation leads to exclusion which results in diffidence and backwardness. In this competitive world and complex day-to-day life they faces challenge at every step are makes to feel inadequacy to meet it. Hence inclusion is felt essential for success of life and any exclusion is damaging for his/her development. Therefore providing inclusion enhances the qualities of self-confidence; self-esteem and strength of body, mind and spiritual are nourished to meet the challenges. The goal of inclusive education policies and initiatives is to provide all children, regardless of their background, ability, or disability, with the same opportunities to receive a high-quality education. These include legal frameworks, support services, curriculum adaptations, teacher training, and fostering a supportive school environment. The goal is to create learning environments where every student feels valued, accommodated, and empowered to thrive academically and socially. The Special Education needs inclusion as a social welfare measure. There are many policies and my aim is to bring some valuable themes to limelight. Firstly to explore the values that are taking shape in our society and secondly, they look at the values to be implemented or adopted in our Government policies and practices in schools. A national commitment has emerged around the increasingly popular idea of inclusive education, with the government placing an emphasis on inclusion.
