West Bengal Launches Workshop to Promote Inclusive Education for Children with Disabilities
West Bengal's School Education Department, in collaboration with UNICEF Kolkata, has initiated a three-day workshop to develop a roadmap for inclusive education for children with disabilities. The initiative aims to integrate specially-abled students into mainstream schools by improving infrastructure, appointing special educators, and fostering supportive attitudes among teachers and staff. The workshop also seeks to address challenges such as dropout rates and parental concerns, aligning with the National Education Policy 2020 to empower rather than sympathize with these students.
