Abstract:

Educating children with and without abilities together in the formal set up schools is known as inclusive education. Steady progress has been made to integrate students with disabilities into general schools rather than total segregation. The teacher education is hasn’t open up enough to prepare for it. The present paper is an attempt to indicate where does inclusive education stands with regard to its pre-service teacher’s preparedness in other words how skilful are they to handle children with diverse nature either positively or negatively. Beside that to check on the scope for such skilful learning through their syllabus and teaching practices. If the in-service teachers are already making a slow effort which need to be accelerate as the student’s number of CWSN is on rise in general schools, as every child need to be welcomed into the portals of education. There are number of ways where teachers in general education could be prepared to meet the needs of CWSN. Pre-service teachers need to be much more skilful to handle these issues. How a teacher need to be skilful to handle those children who equally require time, space and care for learning along with those who are in the general school upbringing. It is likely that the student may experience segregation even in regular schools, unless teachers themselves build a welcoming personality towards the wellbeing of these CWSN. This is need of the hour that teachers are prepared with both knowledge and ability to be fit into inclusive setup schools. We as a country India have embraced inclusive education beside the diversity and disability. Educators or teachers need to prepare for the wellbeing of CWSN in inclusive education.
