Choice of Special, Regular, or At-Home Schooling (NEP)
There is a significant point of contention due to a lack of coherence between the 2009 Right to Education Act (RTE) and the RPWD. The 2012 RTE Amendment includes provisions for students with disabilities to be enrolled in regular schools, with options for children with more severe disabilities to opt for at-home schooling. However, the RPWD states they can enroll in any regular or special schools of choice, with no guidance for at-home learning options. The NEP says all three are options students can choose from; however, people still question the status of home-based education, the governance of special schools, and the use of school complexes (consolidation of schools into one complex to ensure adequate resources for children with disabilities).
