Seminar for Quality Education in Govt. Schools: A two-day seminar (7-11.11.2017) on the topics of “promoting quality education in govt. schools in Bihar” was organized at Deep Narayan Singh Institute, Sheikhpura, Patna to build and broaden the perspectives, policies and practices on inclusive primary education through teacher-training, advocacy and consultative processes. A total of 173 participants (Male-143 & Female-40) participated in the seminar to make it a success. Some important points that were emerged in this seminar are as follows:
- There is a need to utilize, strengthen and monitor the government’ efforts on inclusive education that are already in place.
- The concept of human rights, which is a prerequisite for inclusive education, needs to be included in teacher training program and also in school curriculum.
- School Management Committees (SMCs), if aptly mobilized can become a real vanguard for inclusive education.
- Monitoring is one of the most important factors to strengthen a program and it should be carried out by stakeholders and not by implementing agencies.
- There is a need for coalition among like-minded organizations. This also helps us in developing common grounds.
