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.

following:

in the entire cycle of programme management consisting of planning,
