Inclusive Education for Social Transformation

Segregation has happened in all societies, throughout centuries, for multiple reasons. What is clearly visible in our society presently is the segregation of disabled people. The disabled person on the other hand needs training to merge him/her into society. Social transformation could take place through inclusive education. Inclusive education requires well equipped, knowledgeable and competent teachers who are able to foster the required values, confidence and support in disabled students, thus preparing them to become capable citizens. This paper discusses the research background, the proposed teacher training program for regular teachers and the methodology used in this study.
