universal design of learning

Proposed Technical Sessions:

 Innovation to transform School Education System –providing Inclusive, Accessible and

Equitable Education
The principles of diversity, equity and inclusion if embedded within the school education system it
will lay the foundation for access to schooling for all. In order for policy to translate to practice,
educational barriers, facilities and services for economically disadvantaged children and children
with special needs must be addressed. Moreover, the NEP has infused the aspects of disability
inclusion throughout the policy document with a dedicated chapter on equitable and inclusive
education by focusing on issues, challenges and recommendations for addressing the same. Our
task is to implement facilitating systems for the same.

Artificial Intelligence
The traditional educational model has often struggled to cater to the diverse needs and learning
styles of every student. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative solution to this challenge
by customising learning. AI in education can provide students with personalized learning routes
that are tailored to their objectives, interests, and knowledge base. AI maximizes learning
outcomes by customizing the content and pace to each pupil's specific requirements. This way,
students are given the right challenges and assistance
Driven by AI innovation, education can become more inclusive and effective. As a society, we
must embrace this evolution and work together to ensure that education continues to be a beacon
of opportunity and growth in an ever-changing world.
