This document discusses the importance of inclusive education. It argues that every child has a right to education and that all children can learn, even if they have individual differences or difficulties in learning. Inclusive education aims to cater to these differences by being flexible in methodology, time, and evaluation. It seeks to include not just children with disabilities but also those facing social and economic exclusion. While separate special schools were previously established, inclusive education recognizes that with proper identification and support, most children's needs can be met within regular classrooms. The goal is to create a cooperative rather than competitive society by embracing an inclusive attitude where everyone counts and is accepted.

11. The keyword in inclusive education is
‘FLEXIBILITY’.
• Flexibility of methodology
• Flexibility of time
• Flexibility of evaluation

12. Why Inclusion has been Ignored so far?

13. May be due to the assumptions:
 That there are only a few children with special
needs so, separate schools can be established
for them.
Misconceptions about learning disabilities or
severity of cases.
Improper identification of children with
special educational needs.

14. The 4As as described in Right to
Education also focuses on
inclusion.

18. Children learn what they live
• If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
• If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
• If a child lives with shame, he learns to be guilty.
• If a child lives with encouragement, he learns
confidence.
• If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
• If a child lives with approval, he learns to love himself.
• If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he
learns to find joy in the world.
