Core Concept - Unifying pathways aims to create one school for many abilities, merging the mainstream and special education systems to ensure all learners are included and valued [5][7][13] - The unifying pathways model focuses on assessment of individual interests, needs, and learning styles, implemented through teacher training, peer awareness programs, adaptable classrooms, and a supportive environment [21][22][23] - The unifying pathways model draws inspiration from the ancient Indian Gurukul system, where all types of learners learn together with dignity, regardless of their abilities [24][25] Challenges and Solutions - Parents' concerns about inclusion, such as children being left behind or learning unwanted behaviors, can be addressed through awareness programs, parent-teacher dialogues, and transparent school policies [26][27] Statistics and Impact - Only 10% of neurodivergent students progress from 10th to 12th grade, and only 5% continue to college, highlighting a systemic issue [32] - 30% of learners in any school have learning disabilities, indicating a significant portion of students are struggling in systems not designed for them [33] Call to Action - Teachers should learn new ways to include all children, parents should teach their children to see beyond differences, and policymakers should design inclusive systems [34]
