About conference
Inclusive Education
Inclusive education is based on the premise that all students can learn together in regular schools. They have equal opportunity for education in schools for all. These schools can meet educational needs of all students irrespective of their social, gender, economic, ethnic, linguistic and religious background. It implies that schools will have to meet the challenges responding to diverse educational needs of students. Gender focus is significant because it constitute half of the population. They are exposed to stereotyping and their participation in education decreases progressively dropping out in subsequent classes. The modalities of meeting these needs take into consideration the rural and urban context. Technologies support implementation of inclusive education.
Technologies
Emerging technologies are changing the way we live. The opportunities for persons with disabilities in inclusive setting are enhanced. The technologies in focus are assistive, adaptive, web based, ICT, hardware and software etc. The technologies also enrich the ways to overcome infrastructural and social barriers as well as access to curriculum and assessment in inclusive settings. Overlooking the journey of segregated hospital care to special schooling, the focus in this document is on the millennium goal of inclusive education. Inclusive education has graduated to Sustainable Devolvement Goal–4 (SDG-4). In UNESCO July 2017 document visioning 2030 goals; the inclusive education has been qualified by equitable quality education and promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all. It requires understanding learners’ diversities as opportunities in order to enhance and enriching learning.
