Delhi HC: Private Schools Must Accommodate Disabled Students

The Delhi High Court has made it clear that private schools, like public schools, need to make sure students with disabilities can learn comfortably.

This means schools must provide special help, called 'reasonable accommodation', to students with learning differences.

The court's decision is based on a law called the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act.

This law says all schools, even private ones that are recognized by the government, should help kids with disabilities succeed.

The court also mentioned a specific case where a school was told to readmit a student with autism.

The court believes these measures are a part of basic human rights.

The goal is to make sure every student, no matter their ability, has the chance to learn and be included in society.
