Abstract

We are familiar with the term ‘inclusive education’, a constantly-evolving concept. With the advent of both, large-scale programmes (such as the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan) aimed at the universalisation of elementary education and the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE) of 2009, our schools are increasingly becoming multi-ethnic with children from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. This would require restructuring school cultures, policies and practices to facilitate the participation of all students, including those with disabilities, children from linguistic minorities and socio-economically disadvantaged groups, that is, children belonging to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and girls (NCERT).
