Centre for Special
Education

We support a Centre for Special Education which offers care and education for children and adolescents with special needs.

People with special needs have the right to freedom, equality, social security and human dignity – just like any other human being. The centre for special education is a school for 180 children and adolescents from tribal villages near Bankura who would not otherwise be able to attend school or receive care. Many of the children suffer from malnutrition and neglect, and the prevalence of tribal superstition and lack of awareness means that people with special needs are often marginalized and excluded from their communities. 

The centre provides comprehensive rehabilitation programmes for these children and young people to improve their quality of life and help their integration into society. Supporting the students in choosing what they want to do based on their strengths and needs, the centre offers vocational training and life skills education.

In addition to the daily schooling provided at our Special Education Centre, we support an initiative called Community Based Rehabilitation to reach children with special needs living in remote rural villages. Many of these children are unable to attend our centre daily due to distance, poverty or lack of transportation. 

Through this project we now provide regular training for 200 children, focusing on the development of motor skills, communication, social interaction, academic learning and daily life skills. Special educators also visit children with severe disabilities at home to deliver personalised training. 

Parents are actively involved through awareness sessions and guidance, helping them create a more supportive home environment. The project also aims to integrate and ensure the continued schooling of children with mild to moderate disabilities in a public education system.
