School Without Walls

In this book, the author, while noting that there are emerging expectations from Western parents for inclusive education, rightly rejects any uncritical extension of British policies and practices to India and questions whether the challenges of inclusion in India are similar to those in England and other developed countries. The challenges for inclusion in India are diverse and pressing. Inclusion means not only the inclusion of those with disabilities, but also of the enormous number of socially and economically disadvantaged children belonging to diverse social, cultural and linguistic groups.
