Inclusive Education in India

In 50 years since Indian Independence, only 2% of disabled people have received special educational services, with the other 98% deemed “out of reach”. India follows an old colonial charity model, used in Great Britain during the time of the British Raj, in which the government relies on voluntary organizations to implement the necessary education for people with disabilities. Voluntary organizations are encouraged to adopt integrative methods in terms of inclusive education, though many opt for special schools instead. Such agencies also can only do so much with a lack of resources.
