1.      INTRODUCTION
The Foundation Course on Education of Children with Disabilities through Distance Mode ( FC-
SEDE) is offered jointly by the Madhya Pradesh Bhoj ( Open ) University (MPBOU) and the
Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) which is the Statutory Authority in Special Education..The
FC-SEDE Programme aims to develop basic competencies, knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills,
in teachers and enable them to cater to the specific educational needs of children with disabilities in
regular classes.

The 86th Constitutional Amendment made education a fundamental right for children between 6-14 years of age
including children with disabilities. The National Policy on Education 1986 made provision for the mildly and
moderately disabled children to be placed for education in common settings. Section 39 of the Persons with
Disability Act 1995 made provision in every school to offer 3% seats to children with disability. Moreover,
integrated and inclusive education are now being strongly advocated globally. The country has launched Sarva
Shikshya Abhiyan (SSA 2010)to ensure entry, retention and education of children between 6-14 years of age
including children with disabilities by 2010. The world has reset the goal to attain Education for All and Health
for All by 2015 through its programmes of EFA 2015 and HFA 2015. India 2020 aims to become a developed
country by 2020.. Development in real sense means human development because man is the initiator, means and
end of development. In this context universalisation of elementary education (UEE) will lay the foundation of
development in the country. It has, therefore, become essential to sensitize the regular classroom teachers of the
elementary schools in the country, at least one from each school so that they can meet the specific educational
needs of the children with disability who form a significant sector.

This sets a target to train around 6,00,000 teachers which can be achieved in time by the implementation of the
Foundation Course in Special Education through Distance Education mode. Therefore the FC-SEDE Programme
has been launched jointly by RCI and MPBOU. For any aspirant interested to develop professional expertise in
the field of special education this Foundation Course will serve as an Introductory Course. After this course
he/she, if a graduate, can join the programme, B.Ed. Special Education through Distance Education mode
(B.Ed.-SEDE), which is a 2-years programme including 400 hours of contact programme in four phases, 2 in
each year, offered jointly by by MPBOU and RCI on a national scale. Those who are already B.Ed. can join Post
Graduate Professional Diploma in Special Education through Distance Education mode (PGPD-SEDE) which
is a 9-month programme with 4 weeks of contact programme in two phases.

2.      OBJECTIVE
The principal objective of the programme is to develop required competencies of in-service teachers
and enable them to impart education effectively to students with various disabilities :
       to assist students with disabilities in understanding those subjects which they cannot readily
        comprehend in regular classroom;
       to teach sign language or total communication to the hearing impaired children and Braille
        & low vision aids to visually impaired children;
       to undertake appropriate classroom management for children with disabilities;
       to undertake remedial or dual teaching of mentally retarded and learning disabled children.

3.      DURATION
