The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has directed all its affiliated schools to organize a 30-minute sensitisation and orientation module on inclusive education for Children with Special Needs (CwSN).

This training is a crucial component of the PRASHAST Screening Initiative, which focuses on early identification and intervention for students with probable disabilities. The CBSE emphasizes that sensitizing staff is vital for ensuring CwSN receive appropriate support within schools. Schools are urged to ensure maximum staff engagement, with the Board tracking national participation rates.
