Document Summary

Attendance rates of about 90% for kids without disabilities. 75% attendance rate in urban areas for disabled children. 60% attendance rate in rural areas for disabled children. Regions in india that are doing really well for education, have higher inequality for disabled children (they are 5 times less likely to be enrolled) Children with physical disabilities are more likely to be enrolled (easier fix to the schooling environment) Children with sensory and intellectual disabilities do the worst. Inclusive education is the practice of educating children with various special needs in public classrooms with certain resources as needed. Advocates of mainstreaming assert that educating children with disabilities alongside their non- disabled peers fosters understanding and prepares students of all abilities to function in the world beyond school. Mainstream education does not involve placing a child full-time in a special school or teaching the child outside of the school (e. g. , at home or in a hospital while recovering from a serious illness).
