Kerala may relax special school registration requirements

thehindu.com

The Kerala government is considering changing the requirement for special school registration, which currently mandates at least 20 children under 18. This follows petitions highlighting challenges faced by children with severe intellectual disabilities and their families. Minister for Social Justice R. Bindu noted that unrecognized schools lack financial support, relying on donations. The government has initiated various projects for these children, including inclusive education and skill training programs. A new project called Prachothanam will soon provide skill training for the intellectually challenged across all districts. The government has allocated ₹4 crore for autism rehabilitation and plans to establish three regional rehabilitation centers.
