About the Book

This book deals with the subject of great relevance in the current scenario of education in the global context. This book brings out the ideas, experiences and researches of the distinguished experts, educationalist and researchers. Actually Education is an essential human right from which nobody can be excluded. But the concept of Education for all does not imply the concept of inclusion. This requires an in-depth transformation of the education systems. The key element of inclusion is not individualization but the diversification of the educational provisions and the personalization of common learning experiences in order to achieve the highest degree of participation of all students, taking into account their individual needs. This implies advancing towards universal design. The education system as a whole is responsible for responding to diversity which means that it is necessary to shift from homogenous approaches, where all are offered the same, to education models that consider the diversity of needs, abilities and identities so that education can be pertinent for all people and not only for specific groups of society. To achieve pertinence, the educational provision, the curriculum and the teaching-learning process have to be flexible so that they can be adapted to the needs and characteristics of all students and the diverse contexts in which they develop and learn. The present book is based on the papers of the National Seminar on `Energizing Inclusive Education through ODL` which was organized by the School of Education of the U P Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Allahabad under the guidance of Prof. M P Dube, Vice-Chancellor of the university on 28-29 March, 2015. The research papers are categorized into four sections (i) Concept, Theories and Policy Practices in Inclusive Education, (ii) Professional Development and Learning Resources in Inclusive Education, (iii) Issues, Challenges and Strategies of Inclusive Education, and (iv) School Reforms and Parental Training for Inclusive Education. These papers reflect current scenario, innovations, major school reforms, need and strategies for inclusive education.
