About this course
Philosophy and Educational Foundations in India
Why does a special educator study philosophy and law? Because in the school day of a child with intellectual disability, the special educator is very often the only person in the building who knows what that child is entitled to.
विशेष शिक्षक दर्शन और क़ानून क्यों पढ़े? क्योंकि बौद्धिक दिव्यांगता वाले बच्चे के स्कूली दिन में, अक्सर विशेष शिक्षक ही अकेला व्यक्ति होता है जिसे पता है कि उस बच्चे का हक़ क्या है।
This course covers four educational philosophies, nine educational philosophers, the Constitution and education, the RTE Act 2009 and the RPwD Act 2016, and the commissions and policies from 1948 to NEP 2020 and the National Curriculum Frameworks.
Every idea is tested against one child — Aarav, nine years old, in Class 3 of a Delhi government school under RTE. Every lesson asks the same question: what does this actually do for Aarav on Tuesday morning?
