CBSE has made it mandatory for all its affiliated schools to appoint a special educator to promote inclusive education. A recent CBSE circular states that while the rule has been in place since 2015, the board had found that schools were not following it.
"It has been observed that many schools affiliated with CBSE are not adhering to the provision concerning appointment of special educators. In this connection, your attention is invited to affiliation bylaws which provide to promote inclusion of students with disabilities/special needs in the normal school as per provisions of the Persons with Disabilities Act 1995 and in conformity with National Policy of Education," said the circular that has been put up on the board's website.
CBSE has asked the school management and heads to strictly follow the provision. It has also advised the school managements to strictly comply with the rule.
Recently, ICSE schools were also asked to take steps for inclusive education.
