Samagra Shiksha, Keralam, is launching a scheme to make all the schools in the State disabled-friendly in the coming days. A three-day workshop to devise it is going on in Kozhikode now.
According to a release, the plan is to have facilities for differently-abled students right from the school entrance to the washrooms. Boards, seats, tables, projectors, computers, among others, should suit their needs.
They should also be able to travel freely through the school premises. Ramps and railings, Braille sign boards, adapted toilets etc would be installed.
