The situation of integrated education was comparatively ok before 5 to 10
years. Now the situation has become more critical. Earlier the chock and
talk method was disabled friendly but now use of electronic projectors and
other A V presentation has made inclusive education more complex. if I am
not exaggerating then the time is not so far that the normal children's of
disabled parents will also face the difficulty to get an admission in normal
schools. Why I am saying this because before giving admission in any private
schools they interview the parents of that child. And they may raise the
questions that if you are disabled then it will affect your Childs
performance their by it will affect our schools performance.
Now a days the schools gives lots of project works to children's, and
everybody knows the parents only has to complete the project. So which
integration we are talking about?
Don't forget 1 fact that the disabled students in a main stream schools are
in minority so their grievances will not be paid attention.
To make each and every schools inclusive is financially not viable but to
have state wise 1 special school is viable.
We must not forget the fact that each and every disabled child is not
genius. If the child is not extra ordinary then he requires extra attention
and he can get this in special schools.
If I am not going to the extreme of argument, then I would like to make a
statement, we all go to integrated colleges, but it is the fact that a blind
student has to take arts or if 1 is lucky then commerce. But learning
science is still a dream because the labs are not properly equipped. Now
just think if we have special colleges to learn science then it will be a
dream comes true for many of us.
Let us talk about the private computer education centers, just go and try to
get an admission as a blind. Even if you say I will come with my own
software then also they will not permit, because they argue that we teach
with the help of mouse and you will have to learn through keyboard commands.
For a sited student of computer to increase the size of cell in excel is
very easy just with a click of the mouse, now imagine the blind person has
to do by going to home tab and format cell and type the numbers for
dimension for the cell.
It is argued that the special schools are in urban area, so everyone can not
go. But luckily most of the special schools have the hostel facility and
they are very economic too.

The ideal of making each and every school accessible to all disabled is,
just as I said, an ideal only.
Yes, the choice should be between special and inclusive schools, and not
between special and mainstream school which do not know even the ABCD of
disability.
Now, government under SSA contemplates to make all schools disabled
friendly only by sending special teachers once a week who would assist all
the disabled take education and sensitize mainstream teachers.
These are half hearted efforts making the lot of disabled students worse.
Education as always would remain a teasing illusion to many disabled.

Hello, I am not agreed with the statement
"special school do not provide adequate facility for the overall
developement of the disabled."
Because the special school in witch I have studied perhaps is the
most self sufficient school in the Asian region at that time. The art
of discipline, learning of doing all the work independently by self
while staying in hostel was commendable and I consider this to be the
great source of wealth especially when I am away from my close
relatives, parents or any other family members. I could learn many
independent skills while in the surrounding of my teachers who were
also differently abled, such as, washing the clothes, moving
independently in and around my home, etc, buying vegetables, cooking
the food etc.
Apart from the learning of these independent skills the school
administration used to arrange the picnic, visits to various
well-known film artists with the real demonstration of film production
etc these are just the additional and few of the activities witch I
can enumerate and there were many such countless so I feel that if I
would be in mainstream of inclusive school from the beginning I would
certainly be in the competitive environment but perhaps may not have
the real experience and their right solution at the right time.
I consider the principal of my school is to be a great god mother
without whom I would not be even in a position to talk to you and
could gain the education because this lady has devoted her life
entirely for the betterment of her blind students. She was very
disciplined and used to make sure that no child disobeys the rules of
the school. She used to be witnessed personally in each child's
progress and monitor even minutely about the appearance, cleanliness,
timing of leaving the school on week end and joining back after the
said leave. Even though there use to be the persons delegated to keep
track of the same but still she use to be always active in taking the
regular reports from the concerned supervisors, teachers and dormitory
staffs.

Hi zoher,
You expressed my own opinion regarding special education up to upper
primary class. But, when I spoke about this to some of my blind
friends, who had both special and inclusive education, they say that
special school do not provide adequate facility for the overall
developement of the disabled. I cannot comment on this, since I had
no experience in any of the special school.

Dear friends,
Yesterday's program has importantly raised the issue of integrated
education. Here it comes to my mind is, now onwards will we not require
special schools for disabled?
My take on this issue is nothing can replace the need for special
schools.
Following arguments can support my take.
1. Every disabled child does not comes from the rich family, so he
can
have all the facility of assistive technology in his house. Because
normal
schools cannot provide with all the facilities.
2. As show also pointed out that some of the parents are not
accept
their disabled child. So it is necessary to have the special schools so
that
Childs parents get proper counseling to accept their child. I don't
think
so
any normal school can do so.
3. Many of the disabled children's are over protected by their
parents
or many of them are overlooked by their parents. In both the case the
child
becomes introward, if in this situation he is put to sited school then
he
will not be able to cope with the situation.
4. A disabled child needs to have some special tools to face the
real
world, such as communication skills, presenting oneself with confidence
even
with disability, or handling the subjects like math's science and
geography
he needs to have a special education. Now just imagine in India schools
are
not comfortable for normal students how they are going to accommodate
disabled student?
Here I mean that at list special schools are necessary till 5th or 7th
standard. Then the person is prepared to face the normal schools.
According to me, even giving entire education is in the special
environment
is also not viable, as finally one has to live in the integrated
society.
To get our right place in the society the first thing is that a disabled
should respect other disabled person. In yesterdays show there was one
person who was in my school and in college also. When I was talking to
him,
his mother came to me and told that keep away from my son, if he lives
with
disabled peoples then he will develop an inferiority complex.
Members please carry this thread for more discussion, so we can have
enlightenment on this issue.
