Consider the following statements regarding inclusive education and the National Education Policy (NEP 2020):
- 1. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) places the highest emphasis on the establishment of 'special schools' for 'Children with Special Needs' (CWSN) and discourages their mainstream participation in regular schools.
- 2. The main objective of inclusive education is to provide quality learning opportunities to every child along with children of the same age group in a regular classroom despite their physical, intellectual, social, or linguistic differences.
- 3. The 'Accessible India Campaign' and the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) are major statutory and administrative efforts for a barrier-free environment and training of special educators for persons with disabilities and children with special needs in the country.
- 4. Under the Right to Education Act (RTE Act, 2009), there is a provision of 25% reservation of seats in private schools for children with disabilities along with economically weaker sections (EWS) and disadvantaged groups.
Which of the above statements are correct?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Statement 1 is incorrect because NEP 2020 and the approach of inclusive education emphasize mainstreaming/inclusion of children in regular schools rather than 'special schools'. Statements 2, 3, and 4 are completely true. The core objective of inclusive education is to teach all children together, Accessible India Campaign and RCI are related to barrier-free environment and teacher training, and under the RTE Act 2009, there is a provision for reservation of 25% seats for EWS and CWSN children in private schools.
