Abstract: | Majority of people are excluded from participating in meaningful activities like economic, social, political, educational and cultural life of their communities (UNESCO 2003). Human right activists moved by that,
changed the educational issues of persons with disabilities, those in dificult circumstances and those belonging to minority groups from charity development approach to human right approach. This has further changed and redefined the roles of the United Nations (UN) and its
agencies like WHO, UNESCO, World Bank, and International Community, government of different countries, schools, teachers, parents and persons with special needs towards provision of education in the
whole world. UN with its agencies and several countries of the world held
several conventions towards providing inclusive education. Education became a right and not a privilege for a few. It should be free, compulsory and qualitative at the primary and secondary stages. Educational provision for children with disabilities should be based on equal
opportunity and should pay much attention at the early years. All these groups of children, youth and adult should have access to this all inclusive education which should include access to all educational facilities
including quality teachers. |
