Re: [AI] Fwd: RTE President's address

2012-03-12 Thread Ketan Kothari
Dear Friends,

We in blindness community cannot completely do away with home based
education.  In case of children with severe multiple disabilities, we
have to keep the option open and would have to insist that all modes
of education namely, inclusive schools, integrated education, special
schools, homebased education are available at any given time.  I would
be keen on knowing the views of our list members.  In case, this is
considered off-topic  then may be privately.  But this does require a
fair amount of discussion and debate.

 Dear Friends,

 Greetings!

 Please look at the following link:

 ndtv.com - highlights of president's address to parliament

 Key points:
 *
 *
 *a. Education priority, focus on specially abled persons
 b. Separate department for disability affairs.
 *
 Since there is a specific mention of focus on specially abled children
 under education education, is it going to be amendment to RTE?  If so are
 they going to have home based education under RTE?

 Let's keep our ears open and be prepared for a big fight.

 Thanks  Regards
 A. Dhana

 Please forward to everybody

I fully agree with your views. Infect, I would say that all options for all
children should be made available i.e. The choice should be that of the
parents of child with disability whether he/she wants his/her child to be
educated in inclusive/integrated/special school. Of course in the case of
child with severe multiple disability home-based education is the best at
least till the time he/she is able to benefit from any other option.
