Read Explanation:

Article 24 (2)(a) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) prohibits the exclusion of persons with disabilities from the general education system, including any legislation or regulations that limit their inclusion on the basis of their impairment or its 'degree'.

The right to education for people with disabilities includes the right to: 

  • Free and compulsory education

    The Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 mandates free and compulsory elementary education for all children, including those with disabilities. 

  • Inclusive education

    The goal of educating children with disabilities is inclusive education, not segregated education systems. 

  • Equal access

    People with disabilities should have equal access to primary and secondary education. 

  • Reasonable accommodation

    Reasonable accommodations should be provided to people with disabilities. 

  • Individualized support

    Individualized support measures should be provided to people with disabilities. 

  • Access to appropriate materials

  • Access to medical facilities

    People with disabilities should have access to medical facilities. 

  • Vocational training support

    People with disabilities should have access to vocational training support. 

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) also address the rights of people with disabilities in education.
