IncluEd Shiksha Samvaad Highlights Need for Practical Inclusion in Classrooms

New Delhi, Apr 15 (BNP): The IncluEd Shiksha Samvaad held in New Delhi brought together educators, policymakers, and civil society representatives to focus on making inclusive education more effective at the classroom level.

Organised by Sol’s ARC in partnership with Shikshagraha, Peepul, and Bachpan Manao, the event saw participation from over 125 stakeholders from across the education sector.

The discussions highlighted the gap between policy intent and actual classroom implementation, particularly for Children With Special Needs (CWSN). While millions of such students are enrolled in schools, their overall participation remains limited, pointing to the need for stronger on-ground support.

Participants stressed the importance of equipping teachers, improving learning environments, and adopting practical strategies to ensure inclusive education becomes part of everyday teaching.

The event focused on encouraging collaboration and actionable solutions to create more inclusive and supportive classrooms across India.
