INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR THE DISABLED AT SECONDARY STAGE

The Inclusive Education of the Disabled at Secondary Stage (IEDSS) scheme aims to enable students with disabilities to complete their secondary education (classes 9-12) in an inclusive environment. It provides assistance for their education in mainstream schools and supports teacher training, accessibility infrastructure, learning materials, and other facilities. The scheme is implemented by state education departments and non-profits, and provides full central funding with states contributing scholarships for students. Its objectives are to identify students' needs, provide aids and barrier-free access, train teachers, and establish model inclusive schools.
