6. Defn of Integrated Education
Integrated Education is the educational programme
in which exceptional children attend classes with
normal children on either a part or full time basis.
It is placement of the differently abled children in
ordinary schools with some specialised educational
help and services.
It does not necessarily integrate all the students
who are away from the education for any reason
like physically, mentally, socially deprived or
because of any cast, creed, gender, race, ability,
disability, life style etc.
7. Concept of Integrated Education
During 1950-60 it started in India
The concept of integrated education arises as
outcome of National Policy of Education, 1986
recommended to provide equal opportunity to all
not only for access but also for success.
Integration signifies the process of interaction of
disabled children with normal children in the same
educational setting.
Integration also means ‘mainstreaming’ or
‘Normalisation’. As disabled children are treated with
normal children.
8. Importance of Integrated Education
It does not create a feeling of differentiation
among disabled children.
It helps to remove inferiority complex among
disabled children.
It provides peer group help in learning from
normal children.
It provides disabled children a chance to enjoy
school life with normal children.
It ensures social integration.
9. Continued…..
It inculcates affection, love and respect for
differently abled children among normal
children.
It is less expensive as special infrastructure is not
required. Special learning material and specially
trained teachers are not appointed.
Disabled or challenged students may get help
from peers for learning and get motivated for
learning.
