Name of the Project: UNNATI – Inclusive Education
About project: Disability is a multi-dimensional and complex concept and there is no universally accepted, uncontroversial definition of disability. Awareness about persons with disabilities is slowly increasing with respect to nomenclature and certain visible characteristics. However, the attitudes toward persons with disabilities (PwD) is still one of charity and sympathy.
Schools in National Capital Region have access to resources and trained personnel including qualified teachers and Special Educators. In spite of this, inclusion alludes many children with disabilities. Inclusive education systems wherein each individual has equal opportunity for educational progress is a top global priority. Education systems that are designed to be inclusive, equitable and empowering can help build inclusive societies. The key to bringing about change and achieving social justice resides in the dynamic and natural relationship between education and society. By empowering schools to become inclusive, a large-scale impact can be created on all learners, with and without disabilities.
The goal of the Project: To improve the school ecosystem through inclusion and support for children with disability (CwD). Align with Sustainable Development, Goal 4 - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
