Delhi Schools Embrace PwDs for Inclusive Training

The Delhi government is launching an initiative to enhance inclusive education by involving Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in training and capacity-building within its schools. This decision stems from a government committee's recommendations aimed at improving the overall school environment for students and educators alike. The process of implementing these accepted recommendations is currently underway.

The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has directed its District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) to prioritize the inclusion of PwDs in content development, course design, and training delivery. Training materials and methods will adhere to universal design and accessibility principles.
