History of Education in India: During The British Period.Sadanand Patwardhan
The book is about what exactly it's name suggests. It starts with the review of State of Education in British India in the early 19th century as revealed by the surveys carried out in Madras Presidency at the instance of Governor Munro and far more detailed surveys carried out in some districts of Bengal and Bihar by Adams. Contrary to generally held popular notion that British led the foundation of education; the system of primary education was pretty widespread and robust, though it had already fallen to bad times. In fact, the method of pedagogy, use of senior students to coach junior students, was so economical and useful that it was imitated in England. The primary education was essentially community organized and private tutoring played a big role, where persons of means in villages made it possible for other children to learn along with their own. Syed Nuruallah and J P Naik were well known educationists and published the book in 1943. Naik even started the well known Indian Institute of Education [http://iiepune.org/] in Pune. The pages from 14 to 35 deal with the surveys of indigenous system of primary education and later pages delves into what the British did to education in India.

So who exactly is served in special education?
Exceptional Children
Physical or learning abilities of these children are either above or below the norm and require a specialized program to meet their needsDisability/Impairment
Reduced function or loss of a particular body part or organ
A child with a physical disability is not handicapped unless it impairs educational, personal, social, vocational issues
Handicap
A problem a person with a disability or impairment encounters interacting with the environmentAt-Risk
A child that is not currently identified as having a disability, are considered to have a greater than usual chance of developing a disability.
Also, refers to students who are experiencing learning problems in the regular classroom
People First Language simply means that we should ALWAYS put the person first in our descriptions.IDEA supports People First Language. The term handicapped is replaced with disability.Examples:
Children with disabilities
Students in special education
Students with learning differences, and
Students with autism.
This is an important concept because there is an expectation that we do not categorize students by their disability.
MustUseStudentInstead ofCategory

A specific learning disability (LD)
An emotional disturbance (ED)
Intellectual Disability(ID)
A speech or language impairment (SI)
A visual impairment including blindness (VI)
A hearing impairment including deafness (AI)
An orthopedic impairment (OI)
These are the official labeling categories used for a student with a disability and included next to the category is the acronym used for each of the disability categories.
traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Autism (AI)
other health impairment (OHI)
multiple disability (MI)

These are the official labeling categories used for a student with a disability and included next to the category is the acronym used for each of the disability categories. In Texas Students are labeled by the time they have completed their fifth year; however in other states in the country they are labeled developmentally delayed but not given a specific disability category until nine years of age.
NCEC: suspected of meeting eligibility criteria for:
autism
emotional disturbance
learning disability
Intellectual Disability
Use of the NCEC code is a local district decision
NCEC students must be suspected of meeting the following criteria in order to be considered ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Terminology
"Intellectual disability" means the definition formerly known as "mental
retardation" and means significantly sub average general intellectual
functioning, existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and
manifested during the developmental period that adversely affects a child's
educational performance.
The transition in terminology is used by organizations such as the American
Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, the International
Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disabilities, and the
President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
3. Terminology
The term intellectual disability covers the same
population of students who were identified
previously with mental retardation. This new
change in terminology does not affect the
continued need for individualized supports and
services.
4. LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT
(LRE) that is appropriate for them. The spirit of
this requirement is to ensure that children are
not unnecessarily removed from the regular
classroom or isolated from other non-disabled
children of their age. LRE decisions are made
based on children's learning needs and vary
from child to child.
5. LRE
Choosing the appropriate LRE is important to
ensure that your child receives the instruction
she needs, and Federal Special Education
regulations require that students with learning
disabilities must be educated in the LRE. The LRE
is not any specific placement. Rather, it is the
most appropriate placement for a child that is
chosen from a range of options.
6. 1954 1st Major Event
On May 17, 1954, U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Earl Warren delivered the unanimous ruling in
the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of
Education of Topeka, Kansas. State-sanctioned
segregation of public schools was a violation of
the 14th amendment and was therefore
unconstitutional.
7. 1972 2nd Major Event
• Mills v. Board of Education of District of Columbia (1972)
was one of two important federal trial court rulings that
helped to lay the foundation that eventually led to the
passage of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act
(EAHCA), now the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA), laws that changed the face of American
education. Prior to 1975 and the enactment of these laws,
many schools did not offer special education for students
with disabilities. As such, millions of students were denied
appropriate services or excluded from public education
entirely. The other case was Pennsylvania Association of
Retarded Children v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (1971,
1972).
8. 1972 3rd Major Event
In 1971, the Pennsylvania Association for Retarded
Children (PARC) sued the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania for a state law that allowed public
schools to deny education to certain children,
namely those who had not “attained a mental age
of 5 years”. This law had been consistently used by
the state to deny education to students considered
too burdensome to integrate into school and
classroom environments. The case was brought and
settled before the District Court of the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania.
9. Continue 3rd Major Event
• PARC was the first significant challenge to laws
around the country prohibiting or excluding
students with mental disabilities from
attending school alongside other children or
even in special programs tailored to their
needs. Before this case, many states had
similar forms of legislation in place to prevent
children with mental disabilities from
receiving a free public education.
10. U.S District Judge Masterson Decree
Based on the strength of evidence, the sides came to a
settlement in early 1972, and U.S. District Court Judge
Masterson gave a consent decree deeming the former
laws unconstitutional and tasking the State with providing
a free public education to all children between the ages
of six and twenty-one years. Additionally, the State was
asked to provide sufficient education and training for all
“exceptional” children, to the level of those given to their
peers. In line with these new requirements, the
Commonwealth could no longer deny any child with
disabilities access to any free public program of education
and training.
11. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 4TH Major Event
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (often just called
the “Rehab Act”) prohibits discrimination on the
basis of disability in programs run by federal
agencies; programs that receive federal financial
assistance; in federal employment; and in the
employment practices of federal contractors.
12. Section 501, 503
• prohibits federal employers from
discriminating against qualified individuals
with disabilities.
• prohibits employment discrimination based
on disability and requires affirmative action in
the hiring, placement and advancement of
people with disabilities.
13. Section 504, 508
• of the Rehab Act makes it illegal for federal
agencies, or programs or activities that receive
federal financial assistance or are conducted
by a federal agency, to discriminate against
qualified individuals with disabilities.
• requires federal electronic and information
technology to be accessible to people with
disabilities, including employees and members
of the public.
14. Public Law, 94-142, 1975, 5th Major Event
• Public Law 94-142
When it was passed in 1975, P.L. 94-142
guaranteed a free appropriate public
education to each child with a disability. This
law had a dramatic, positive impact on
millions of children with disabilities in every
state and each local community across the
country.
15. FAPE
• Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) is an
educational right of children with disabilities
in the United States that is guaranteed by the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
16. 1990,The American with Disabilities, 6th Major Event
• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was
signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President
George H.W. Bush. The ADA is one of America's
most comprehensive pieces of civil rights
legislation that prohibits discrimination and
guarantees that people with disabilities have the
same opportunities as everyone else to
participate in the mainstream of American life --
to enjoy employment opportunities, to purchase
goods and services, and to participate in State
and local government programs and services
17. The final Federal Regulation, 7TH Major Event
The Secretary issues final
regulations governing the Assistance to
States for Education of Children with
Disabilities Program and the Preschool
Grants for Children with Disabilities
Program. These regulations are needed
to implement changes made to the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act, as amended by the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Improvement Act
of 2004 (Act or IDEA).
18. 7TH Major Event continue
• Department of
Education
34 CFR Parts 300 and 301
Assistance to States for the Education of
Children With Disabilities and Preschool
Grants for Children With Disabilities;
Final Rule
19. 2001, No Child Left Behind, 8th Major Event
• The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support in
2001 and was signed into law by President George W. Bush on Jan. 8, 2002, is the name for the most
recent update to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
• Under the NCLB law, states must test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8 and once in high
school. And they must report the results, for both the student population as a whole and for particular
“subgroups” of students, including English-learners and students in special education, racial minorities,
and children from low-income families.
• Under the law, schools are kept on track toward their goals through a mechanism known as “adequate
yearly progress” or AYP. If a school misses its state’s annual achievement targets for two years or more,
either for all students or for a particular subgroup, it is identified as not “making AYP” and is subject to a
cascade of increasingly serious sanctions:
