Inclusive education for CWD – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 is aligned with the principle of inclusive education. It calls for regular schools to be made accessible and welcoming for children with disabilities, with physical adaptations, assistive devices, teacher training and resource centres.

Option A:
Segregating all children with disabilities into separate institutions goes against the inclusive approach promoted in NEP and in laws such as the RPwD Act.

Option B:
This option captures the idea that inclusion is the default, with specialised support added where needed so that learners with disabilities can participate meaningfully.

Option C:
Restricting such learners only to online education would deprive them of peer interaction and classroom support that are central to inclusion.

Option D:
Excluding them from assessment would deny recognition of their learning; NEP encourages appropriate accommodations in evaluation instead.
