Job Description : Consultant Inclusive Education Department (Blind and
Low Vision) - Government Inclusive Education programme strengthening
project, (Government Of Rajasthan)
Location: Jaipur
Background of the project
Sarva Sikhsha Abhiyan (SSA) has made significant move by identifying
about 2.5 Lakh children with special need in the state of Rajasthan and
enrolling 2.4 Lakh of the identified children in the mainstream schools.
Various initiatives such as developing existing SSA resource rooms as
model resource rooms, appointing resource teachers to support the
education of Children with special need (CWSN), clinical and functional
assessment of the children, distribution of aids and appliances, making
barrier free environment at schools, orientation and training of school
teachers on disability have been initiated under inclusive education
programme of SSA. The enrolment of children with specific need in the
schools has given new hope to the children and their parents and is
creating demand for specific support services.
Lack of human resources has been one of the major challenges across the
county in supporting the inclusive education component of the SSA. Two
hundred and sixty nine (269) resource teachers have been appointed so far
for 33 districts of the state - but looking at the number of identified
children (2.48 Lakh) this is inadequate. Availability of resource
teachers specialized to a particular disability remains another
challenge. For 33552 identified visual impaired children in the state 66
special educators trained in VI are available which is highly inadequate.
Due to less number of resource teachers' children with visual impairment
find difficulty in receiving regular specific support and their
educational need is not fulfilled properly. Lack of human resources also
restricts the district authorities to extend other support services to
the children with specific need.
State also lacks technical manpower for assessment of low vision children
and as a result very few children in the state have been assessed for low
vision and given low vision devices. Children requiring plus curriculum
training need regular and intensive support in the beginning so that they
learn Braille and other plus curriculum skills and their integration in
the mainstream schools becomes easier. Involvement of the parents and the
community in the education of the children with specific need has not
been significant in the state. Sightsavers has been supporting the
Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme in the two districts along
with other districts in Rajasthan for the last 8 years. The CBR programme
will facilitate in mobilizing community support in the implementation of
the project.
Realizing the current challenges being faced in the implementation of the
inclusive education component in the state this partnership of
Sightsavers with Government of Rajasthan is intended to pilot new
approaches in two needy districts Jaisalmer and Barmer and undertake some
specific state level joint initiatives. The ultimate aim of this
collaboration is to see that all the blind and low vision children in the
two pilot districts receive quality education and state initiative to
promote inclusive education for children with specific need is
strengthened.
Sightsavers would be strengthening the state cell of inclusive education
by supporting the salary component of a consultant for Blind / Low Vision
for 3 years who will be supporting the IE cell in reporting and
documentation along with coordinating the district pilot projects of the
two districts. Sightsavers would be extending technical support to the IE
cell in planning out the services to low vision children of the entire
state and also provide resource support for training and capacity
building activities as agreed in the proposal.
Key Responsibilities of the Consultant

following:

in the entire cycle of programme management consisting of planning,
implementation and monitoring.
