With present society’s technological transformation and progress, there is an increasing demand for inclusive education. By its very definition, it brings learning opportunities to every student irrespective of their abilities or background. OPG World Schools, Dwarka aims to be a supportive center of learning that enhances individual differences while ensuring that each and every learner attains his or her goals.
What does inclusive education mean?
Inclusive education is the educational philosophy which embraces full-time education for all within the context of their local schools regardless of any barriers including special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Within this model, children get the opportunity to learn with their peers which in turn encourages their comprehension and respect of each other.
All the students in OPG World School are equally included and allowed to learn according to a particular absence of their model of education. We strive to meet the educational requirements of all children through a blend of Individualized Education Plans, instructional differentiation, and other supportive means.
What is the significance of Inclusive Education?
In fact, inclusive education is useful not only for learners who have disabilities but also for their classmates as well as the entire learning environment. Below are some of the advantages that highlight the importance of inclusive education:
Fosters Unity: Inclusive education helps achieve the unity of learners as it integrates students with various skills and those with disabilities. Such fosters compassion and decreases the discrimination related to differences.
Facilitates Balanced Growth: Students learn with children, irrespective of the abilities so development of necessary life skills such as teamwork, communication and problem solving is possible.
Enhances Learning: Studies indicate that children placed in such settings and given the support usually perform better and do well academically. This occurs because children get the right kind of support they need which is beneficial to them.
