Abstract


Education of all children in public schools, together with those with disabilities, continues to be an unanswered issue in many countries around the globe. While education of all students is mandated by law and well thought-out a basic human right in many countries, the current status of execution varies. India, for example, is a prehistoric country that adopted moderately a lot of laws and policies for its citizens with disabilities after the independence from British rule. Today, India legitimately requires the education of all students in schools; however, despite this, millions of students with disabilities prolong to stay behind out of school or be given little or no education. In this context, this paper intends to analyze the status and infrastructure of special schools in Kerala and the factors determining the enrollment of disabled students in these schools.
