1,500 special care centres to provide individual support set up in State schools
The Samagra Shiksha, Kerala, has launched 1,500 special care centres to provide individual support to differently abled children studying in State schools.
The special care centres are set up in schools that have differently abled students and adequate space.
Samagra Shiksha, Kerala, had appointed special educators in schools to support teachers by providing adapted learning materials. However, the number of special educators – just 2,886 – is very low as compared to that of differently abled students.
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
