[AI] Policy on PwDs: Inclusion of curriculum on disability, quota in pvt institutions suggested by NGOs

Policy on PwDs: Inclusion of curriculum on disability, quota in pvt
institutions suggested by NGOs
PTI
31 August, 2022 08:04 pm IST
New Delhi, Aug 31 (PTI) Inclusion of a curriculum on disability
studies as part of general teacher education, collaboration on the
issue of rare diseases and mandatory reservation for specially-abled
students in private institutions are among the suggestions submitted
by NGOs to the social justice and empowerment ministry on the draft
National Policy for Persons with Disabilities.
Wednesday was the last date to share comments on the draft policy
released in early June by the Department of Empowerment of Persons
with Disabilities (DEPwD).
Promoting the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative in the disability
sector, bringing out a dynamic database to provide information on a
real-time basis and better engagement of Ayush research and care to
address this sector are among the salient features of the draft
policy.
Disability rights NGOs have submitted their suggestions for education
to the ministry.
The National Platform For The Rights of the Disabled, in its
suggestions, has asked the ministry to specify the provision of
accessible transport, especially since children will be shifted to
far-away school complexes.
The draft also reiterates the need to train teachers about the
learning needs and the inclusion of diverse learners.
“However, there is no specific guidance in that regard. More clarity
on the mechanisms that will be put in place for this as also the
timelines is required,” the NPRD said.
The draft policy says the inclusion of a curriculum on disability
studies as part of general teacher education is necessary.
“Accessible accommodation in vicinity of the institute will be
provided,” it says.
The NPRD pointed out that the draft policy says the “Ministry of
Education will be approached to include Indian Sign Language and
closed captioning in their educational videos”.
It should be made mandatory and not left to discretion, the NPRD said.
“Also, add: video transcription will be provided for students with
deafblindness,” it added.
The draft is totally missing the numerous problems that confront
differently-abled students in higher education, except for a reference
to the mandated 5 per cent reservation, the NPRD said.
“There is no reference to adult education or vocational education
either. Reservation in higher educational institutions needs to be
made mandatory for private institutions as well. Necessary legal
framework for that has to be put in place,” it said.
Additionally, the compliance of accessibility norms in higher
educational institutions needs to be monitored on a strict and regular
basis, the disability rights NGO added.
“With regard to higher education for persons with developmental
disabilities such as intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum
disorders etc., through advancements in technology and many
psychosocial interventions, many persons with developmental
disabilities have seen better inclusion as a strengths-based
perspective was adopted in providing them skills and resources. This
focus needs to be brought into this policy,” it said.
Calling assistive technology a crucial part of healthcare access, it
said the policy should include the commitments made by India at the
71st World Health Assembly to follow the Priority Assistive Product
List (APL) and include those assistive devices in the Assistance to
Disabled Persons for Purchase scheme.
The policy should also mention to expand the production capacity of
the Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) to
produce high-quality and high-impact assistive devices, it said.
The National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People
(NCPEDP) said the draft policy is definitely a major step in the right
direction for promoting the inclusion of specially-abled people.
“While the draft is forward-looking, it remains silent on the
mechanisms of implementation and monitoring of the Rights for Persons
with Disabilities Act, 2016 in a timely manner. The policy also lacks
mention of inter-ministerial collaborations and does not detail the
aspects of digital and financial inclusion, political participation,
climate justice and insurance based-discrimination for persons with
disabilities,” said Arman Ali, executive director, NCPEDP.
“Time-bound measures are required to ensure that no person with
disability is left behind,” he added. PTI UZM RC
