Which of the above statements are correct?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Statements 1, 2, and 3 are completely true. Article 21A of the Indian Constitution (86th Constitutional Amendment, 2002) gives the right to education to all children aged 6 to 14 years, which includes children with disabilities. Under the 'Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016' (RPwD Act), disability categories have been increased from 7 to 21 and 5% reservation is provided in higher educational institutions. NEP 2020 and Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan promote an inclusive culture. Statement 4 is false because inclusive education aims to educate children with diverse physical and mental needs together in general schools without discrimination, rather than limiting severely disabled children only to special schools.
