Our Journey…..

In India, when we explore the different problems in education, the biggest problem is the number of children who are excluded from schools where they should belong because of disability, race, language, religion, gender, and poverty. As most of these are already well covered by the media we present the topic of inclusive education.

Inclusive Education is an approach towards educating children with disability and learning difficulties with that of normal ones beneath the same roof. It brings all students together in one classroom and community, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses in any area, and seeks to maximize the potential of all students. It is one of the most effective ways in which to promote an inclusive and tolerant society so that the light of education is not limited and it brings hope to the seemingly endless cave of darkness.

Let us remember when our government embarked on the journey of working towards Sustainable Development Goals set up by The United Nations, these goals provided an agenda to fulfil. With the students across the nation and borders, we realised that it’s not only a problem in India but all around the world, as education is the only way to make the world a better place for everyone. Students from different countries discussed their ideas and as a team, it was decided with our small steps we would try to bring the change in the education system and thought process.

We took it as a great opportunity to work for Quality Education i.e. SDG 4 in The International SDGs Collaborative project. It aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”

Target 4.a of SDG 4 is to build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide inclusive and effective learning environments for all

This target addresses the need for adequate physical infrastructure and safe, inclusive environments that nurture learning for all, regardless of background or disability status. Even if we approach this in an even more philosophical manner, we talk everyone is intended to be the same so why do unintended consequences hamper the bright future of a child

We conducted a survey to analyse and understand the needs and challenges for achieving the goal of inclusive education. How will an inclusive environment meet the needs of children with disabilities? How can quality education be effectively and efficiently delivered for all children?

We are working as a team to bring change to our education system and make sure no one is left behind. Each one needs to think about it and take small steps to let each child get quality education and be part of SHINING INDIA.

We found that people have an ingrained bias against inclusive education and it was important to eliminate it. Creating awareness is the only way to remove the bias hence we took it on our shoulders to do the needful

We created our own youtube link for generating awareness and wrote articles in various magazines to help people understand the need for Inclusive education and how it is imperative to integrate a vast section of deprived students into the mainstream education system.

Our group-Neil Ganguly, Ayush Anand, Om Pawar, Sahasra Bontu, and S.Nandesh, is working towards the SDG goal of achieving quality education not only in principle but also in practice.
