� Readiness of the general education system to accept responsibility for education

of children with disabilities.

� Encouagement provided by the community for including children with

disabilities in local schools.

� Readiness of parents of children with disabilities to admit the childtren in local

schools.

� Basic knowledge of general classroom teachers about the education of children

with disabilities.

� Admission of all types of disabled children in local schools irrespective of the

extent of disability.

� Enrolment rate of children with disabilities at least on par with that of non-

Activities undertaken during 2014-15. No of Assessment Camps 2014-15 = 104, covering all 201 zones of the state Where as visual Assessment camps are under process in some of the districts

Activities to be completed by March 2015.

1.State level workshops: 2. A five- day state level workshop each on sign language, multiple disabilities and curricular

adaptations is proposed for 22 district coordinators/Key Resource Persons and Resource Teachers for which communication is in progress with the experts regarding their consent and dates. They will act as Master trainers to conduct district level workshops.

3. Transport and Escort Allowance: 4. Monitoring and supervision of Resource rooms and working of Resource teachers in the field. 5. State level review meeting of Inclusive Education with Chief Education Officers, district

coordinators and Resource teachers.

Recommendation of MHRD for the year 2014-15:

The Appraisal Team recommends the proposal of Rs. 534.46 lakh on IE @ Rs. 2200/- per annum per child for 24294 CWSN. The existing 48 RTs have been shifted to the RPs for CWSN under the BRC Head, The IE coordinators at the state and district level should supervise their work. Their job chart would be drawn up by the IE Cell of SSA. As far as inclusive education is concerned the State would now have to focus on enhancing academic support to CWSN by strengthening teacher training on inclusive pedagogy. NCERT has developed exemplar material on curricular adaptations and adapted CCE, with a special focus on the learning needs of CWSN. This material has been developed for primary level. To give quality to the IE programme, the state is going to train 2011 school teachers on the NCERT material. For this, the state has to get its existing resource persons trained through NCERT. As far as therapy services to CWSN are concerned, the state has to train parents and the existing RPs of CWSN on providing basic therapy to CWSN through physiotherapists.
