Inclusive Education
By Dr. Neetu Upveja & Dr. Raj Dulari Makhecha

Education today is not just about classrooms and curricula—it is about creating spaces where every child, regardless of ability, background, or challenge, feels valued, respected, and included. Inclusive School is a comprehensive resource that explores the philosophy, practices, and policies that make inclusive education a reality.

The book examines the concept and importance of inclusive schools, tracing historical perspectives on education for children with diverse needs. It explains the differences between special, integrated, and inclusive education, while highlighting the barriers that must be overcome to achieve genuine inclusion.

Covering a wide spectrum of children with diverse needs—physical, psychological, cultural, social, and economic—it provides detailed insights into learning disabilities, sensory impairments, and effective educational programmes. Practical strategies, innovative practices, and the role of technology in inclusive classrooms are presented alongside the crucial contributions of teachers, parents, administrators, and communities.

In addition, the book offers an in-depth analysis of policy frameworks such as the UNCRPD (2006), the Rehabilitation Council of India’s initiatives, and the Right to Education Act (2010), making it an essential guide for educators, policymakers, and students of education.

Inclusive School is more than a textbook—it is a call to action for building schools and societies that embrace diversity, nurture empathy, and ensure the right to education for all.
