DoE

The Delhi Directorate of Education (DoE) has mandated that all 12 special schools serving students with disabilities implement comprehensive inclusive practices by November 5. The directive, issued on October 22, 2024, requires school administrators to submit an Action Taken Report (ATR), documenting their compliance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act, 2016, and the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The order by DoE outlines 19 essential provisions for promoting inclusive education, such as placing students in appropriate classes, providing online assessments, and offering free aids, appliances, and smart classrooms. Schools are also instructed to offer specialised training in Braille, sign language, and other communication skills.

Further, schools must establish detailed schedules for special education teachers, maintain accurate records of students’ disability certificates and Unique Disability IDs (UDID), and conduct regular case studies and assessments for each student.
