A Study on the Awareness of the Teachers Working in Inclusive Schools on Vocational Education for the Divyang students

Abstract

There have been efforts nationally as well as internationally to include children with diverse needs in the educational mainstream. In order to achieve a truly inclusive education, we need to think about and incorporate children with special needs into regular schools. Inclusive schools have to address the needs of all children in every community and the central and state Governments have to train their teachers to manage inclusive classrooms. As the RPWD Act, 2016 state that the appropriate Government shall formulate schemes and programmes including provision of loans at concessional rates to facilitate and support employment of persons with disabilities especially for their vocational training and self-employment and to achieve the same exclusive skill training programmes for different types or categories of persons with disabilities with active links with the market.
