Inclusive and Equitable Education in NEP 2020

The National Education Policy 2020 focuses on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in its sixth chapter; clearly focusing on inclusive and equitable education for all. It says that separation is against nature. It means that when nature treats us equally, like it provides equal light, equal air, equal water, equal heat and cold to all living beings, then man has no right to discriminate among him. This is the ideology of inclusive education that is education to take along all types of children, which affects the development and teaching-learning ability of normal and special children. In our society it is believed that a child with disabilities is a helpless creature. He cannot play any kind of role in the society. It is a very difficult task to teach and train them. But inclusive education and research have really brought a positive change in people's minds and it is believed that if the remaining potential of these children is fully utilized, then such children can join the mainstream of society and achieve self-reliance. Due to this positive change in people, inclusive education has gained momentum. NEP In 2020 also, inclusive education has been promoted, which is continuously moving in which direction to achieve its goal Inclusive education is a broad term used to describe well-planned and organized education for all children with special needs, according to their well-identified special needs, in order to help them develop their abilities, adjust, and progress in life as effectively as possible.

This will not only lead to the development of those children who are normal, special, or talented. Rather, our society and nation will develop and inclusive education also helps in building an educated society and nation.
