The Uttar Pradesh government is pioneering a transformative approach to inclusive education, offering specialized schooling for around 400 students with disabilities. Currently, these institutions are operational in key regions like Prayagraj, Kannauj, Auraiya, and more, serving classes 6 to 12 with a blend of supportive and mainstream educational practices.
These integrated special secondary schools welcome both 'divyang' and regular students, fostering a culture of mutual understanding and empathy as reported by an official statement. Equipped with advanced assistive technologies, specially trained educators, and barrier-free infrastructure, the schools reflect a commitment to equitable, sensitive learning environments.
To further this mission, the government plans to establish additional schools in Ghaziabad and Pratapgarh. Under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Minister Narendra Kashyap, these efforts are part of a broader strategy to integrate divyangjans into mainstream society, supported by initiatives like the Divyangjan Portal and mobile court justice systems.
