This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Special to Inclusive Education in India: Case Studies of Three Schools in Delhi focuses on the growing international interest in inclusive education and on how to offer equal education to all children regardless of their needs, or their social, cultural and economic backgrounds. With the number of private schools that admit children identified with special needs, particularly of the non-physical and non-sensory categories, as a part of "integrated" or "inclusive" education, increasing in India, the challenges of inclusive education in India are also many. The concerns that require attention involve the inclusion of children with disabilities and special needs, those from socially and economically disadvantaged groups and from diverse cultural and linguistic groups, and those alienated in classrooms that offer non-relevant curricula and teacher-centred methods. This book discusses these issues and challenges against the background of the existing educational system. Using a case study approach, the author has examined three different schools in Delhi where "special" needs children have been admitted, and has analysed the findings against the background of the Indian education policy and its provisions for special education.

Book excerpt: Education and Disability in the Global South brings together new and established researchers from a variety of disciplines to explore the complexities and dilemmas encountered in providing education to children and young people with disabilities in countries in South Asia and Africa.

Together, the chapters offer a comprehensive overview of a range of issues, including a nuanced appreciation of the tensions between the local and global in relation to key developments in the field, critiquing a globalized notion of inclusive education, as well as proposing new methodological advancements in taking the research agenda forward. Empirical insights are captured not just from the perspectives of educators but also through engaging with children and young people with disabilities, who are uniquely powerful in providing insights for future developments.
Download or read book Modern Schooling and Trajectories of Exclusion written by Divya Kannan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely enquiry into the disjuncture between schooling and society, this book aims to examine the specific spatialities and temporalities of modern schooling through which non-normative childhoods are constructed as the ‘provincial other’. A large body of critical scholarship has engaged with the ways in which modern schooling draws upon certain situated, normative ideals of child development and is uneasy in its attempts to accommodate childhoods that are situated outside of this normative framework. The COVID-19 pandemic, in fact, was a further reminder of how schooling, in its current form, is limited in its abilities to address childhoods that spatio-temporally disrupt the assumptions of the ‘normal’ and ‘stable’. Together, the authors of this edited volume examine the ways in which modern schooling, ‘excludes’, despite set policies for inclusion, and how ‘provincialized’ children respond to this. Cutting across a range of disciplines from history and anthropology to sociology and childhood studies, statistics and demography, and a range of research methodologies, from archival to ethnographic, the chapters draw upon these various disciplines in unpacking the structures of modern schooling. Modern Schooling and Trajectories of Exclusion will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of education, sociology, research methods, childhood studies and social sciences. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Children's Geographies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have been observed in educational reforms in the Indian subcontinent over the last two decades. During this time period, educational policies began to be influenced by international developments in education (Hodkinson & Devarakonda, 2011). According to Singal (2006a), the Indian government endorsed the objective of the Salamanca Declaration (UNESCO, 1994), which was to ensure policy changes to "promote the approach of inclusive education, namely enabling schools to serve all children, particularly those with special educational needs". This time period also marked the beginning of the usage of the term "inclusive education" in educational policies in India; however, a guideline to defining inclusion and actual implementation of inclusion in schools has not yet been realized (Singal & Rouse, 2003). There are few schools implementing inclusion in India; many practices are reflective of those developed and used in schools in developed countries. Inclusive practices developed in schools in Western countries may not suit the needs of schools in the Indian context. This case study was designed to explore how one primary school in India adapted and implemented inclusion. The perceptions and experiences of the principal, teachers and parents regarding inclusion were also explored in the context of inclusive practices of the school. Multiple sources of data collection including in-depth interviews, observations, document review and focus group were used to answer research questions. Data analyses were used to identify themes and categories to answer research questions using techniques identified by Glaser and Strauss (1967). Findings are presented as follows: (1) an introduction to the school, (2) implementation of inclusion in India, and (3) knowledge and perceptions of stakeholders regarding inclusion. Findings indicate that the school practiced a social model of inclusion to suit their needs and based on the availability of resources. Parents of children with disabilities played an important role in implementing inclusion. Goals for inclusion, school and classroom practices, as well as participants' perceptions regarding inclusion were consistent with their experiences and implementation of social inclusion. Participants' had mostly positive perceptions, but expressed some limitations about inclusion. Implications for future research, practice and policy are also discussed.

Book excerpt: In the contemporary Indian education landscape, "Inclusion" has emerged as the latest buzzword. The Indian Government, through its Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan, advocates the practice of Inclusive Education for children with Special Educational Needs (CWSN). The philosophy of Inclusion asserts that every child should, to the greatest extent possible, study in regular schools. This necessitates schools making adjustments in their routines and eliminating both attitudinal and physical barriers to accommodate the needs of CWSN. This research represents an endeavor to examine the concept of a school-specific Inclusive Education Plan (IEP), meticulously crafted and executed with a specific child and school in mind. The journey from selecting a suitable sample to implementing and evaluating the IEP is systematically detailed across seven chapters. The First Chapter centers on the rationale, title, objectives, and limitations of this study. The Second Chapter aligns this research with the existing body of knowledge in the field of Inclusive Education and the transition from Special to Inclusive Education. The Third Chapter compiles insights drawn from the experiences of fellow researchers. In the Fourth Chapter, we outline the study's design and provide essential details concerning the first four phases. These phases relate to the macro level of the study, encompassing aspects such as teacher awareness of the basic concept of Inclusive Education, the formulation of school-specific awareness training schedules, the execution of in-service teacher training, classroom observations, and the preparation of case profiles and school training needs profiles. The fifth chapter furnishes crucial details pertaining to the subsequent three phases. The primary focus here is on the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of the IEP. The Sixth Chapter offers a concise glimpse into the journey beyond this present research. It delves into the major findings, implications for Inclusive schools, suggestions for further research, and the valuable lessons we have gleaned.
