hi Fayaz, my best suggestion is not to go for a special university. when this is said, it means the dissolving of any such ideas and strongly condemning it. On Mon, Dec 25, 2023 at 6:44 PM Neha Trivedi wrote: > This is a very scary and a dangerous step. Either setting up a special > University

This is a very scary and a dangerous step. Either setting up a special University or exclusive centers within universities especially at higher education will defeat the access to quality and choice based education There are already existing models of inclusive education in higher education.

In my view, having a special University for persons with disability is a backward step. It would be interesting to know as to who are the members of this pannel. From: accessindia@accessindia.org.in On Behalf Of Kanchan Pamnani Sent: 23 December 2023 11:33 To:

exactly. the sad thing is some people of our own community resist the idea of inclusion. I have even heard that a blind school teacher talking math and science should not be taught to the blind children after 7th grade. look at the state of affairs of our so-called NGOs. ridiculous! On Sun, Dec

Continuing the line taken by Anirudh and Amiyo Biswas, my personal take or rather query is that while we have all been talking about assimilation and equity, would not creating separate special universities increase the gap rather than reduce? Creation of a special university will reduce choice

I agree with Aniruddh. We need real special schools for education at an early age. But these special schools are neglected. The government speaks of inclusive education at school level when there is hardly any arrangement at normal schools. Special universities will segregate us and who can
