Ministry Reports Progress in Inclusive Education

The Department of School Education and Literacy under the Ministry of Education has conducted a nationwide screening of its 30-minute Sensitisation and Orientation Module on Inclusive Education for Children with Special Needs (CwSN) through the PRASHAST Portal.

More than 60,000 schools participated in the initiative, while over 72 lakh teachers had already been sensitised through the module. Available in 12 Indian languages, the programme is designed for school heads, teachers, special educators and non-teaching staff.

The module uses practical examples and interactive activities to familiarise school personnel with respectful and appropriate ways to support children with special needs. The initiative promotes a whole-school approach, recognising that inclusion involves everyone who interacts with a child, from classroom teachers to administrative and transport staff.

PRASHAST is also a school-based screening tool designed to help identify children with 21 disability conditions covered under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The initiative aligns with the broader objective of making school environments safer, more accessible and supportive.
