1. INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Education shouldbe the manifestationof all that is inherent inall human-
beings. If inherence is inheritance, thenall must get the opportunities for equal
and inclusive educationas far as possible andpracticable. As is knownto all that
the gap betweenthe haves and have-nots couldn’t be bridgedeffectively
despite all visible andinvisible efforts by various govt. agencies andmany NGOs
working in the field, sonow more concertedefforts are expectedfromall
quarters tobring in a sense of balance towards working for Inclusive Education.
And toachieve the goal of reaching the Target all must direct their efforts
towards making educationmore feasible for all sections of society.
Clarity of visionis soessential tomaintaincontinuity andin trying todo so all
stake holders must participate withone blue-print inmind, sothat the journey
towards equality can be a reality without further delay.
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation as was implementedby CBSE is one
of the most important landmarks and standpoints in the desireddirectionof
Inclusive Educationfor one and all.
The poorer and the needy sections of society must get the opportunitiesfor job-
orientedVocational Training whichalone can empower themto attainthe basic
minimum livelihoodopportunities.
Here it is needless tosay that CCE has brought about many requiredchanges
which earlier were not perceivedas necessary inputs inthe systemof class-
room delivery at any level.
Continuity is the best regularity andceaselessness of creativity canonly be
possible inan environment of such evaluationwhichis holistic and
participatory.
The different LevelsandStages of CCE makes the entire process of ‘learner
evaluation’ sovery democratic for all students inthe sense that there is aseries

two halves of the Academic Year.
Each FA has 10% weight age, totaling 40% of the assessmentandthe two SAs
consist of 30% weight age which make the entire body of the Academic Cake.
Inclusionin the process of ceaselessly continuouslearning goes on. All move on
the thoroughfare of Educationwith equal opportunity for all, keeping their
common Goal alive and achievable inall possible ways.
Let me conclude here witha Thought for all the valuedcontributors and
readers: “ Never fear war for peace is permanent, war just happens for a
change.”
