Education is crucial not only for the development of the individual but for society as a whole.
It is instrumental for economic growth and sustainability as well as an important parameter to
measure the development of the State. Education fosters the quality of effective and
independent decision making in the individual and promotes democratic principles in society.
States across the world acknowledge the importance of universal and inclusive education for
the development of humanity. They have come together on the international podium to make
the education human rights of children through various covenants. The signatories to these
international covenants are obliged to bring legislations, schemes, and policies to provide
universal and inclusive education. Despite such initiatives by various states, a large number
of children especially from the disadvantageous section of the society do not have access to
education. Children with disabilities continue to be an intriguing example of such children
that remain devoid of their educational rights throughout the world. International covenants
like Conventions on Child Rights, Human Rights and even United Nations Convention on
Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD); talks in length on the educational rights of
children with disabilities yet, there is a growing concern about the groups of children who
are excluded from education. It is a known fact that Children with Disabilities are the most
disadvantageous across the Globe. Inclusion is seen as a process to overcome the
Exclusionary Processes.
