Abstract

UNESCO [1] appeals to its member states to anchor their educational agenda on the four pillars of learning - learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together. These pillars are hallmarks of a high quality inclusive culture, values, and principles. These hallmarks can be achieved mainly by carrying out the premises of inclusion in the curriculum. It is a kind of curriculum that is powerful in respecting the sanctity and integrity of human rights - by nurturing cultures, values, and principles of tolerance, which transcends cultural, religious, gender, physical, emotional, social, economic, and other difference. Present research work tries to explore the various strategies describing the K curriculum using inclusive education and further tries to explore the interrelationship amongst them .
