Schools, colleges, and universities used different information technology (IT) tools to provide education to the students. To study the impact of the online classes on students and the pros and cons of online classes during COVID-19 lockdown, the researcher reached out to some of the students (Grade 7th to 12th) from different schools and boards of Rourkela District, Odisha to know their experiences on how the online classes were working. A semi-structured interview with close and open-ended questions, was conducted on telephone for collecting data. The result of the study shows that the participation of the students was high but they were not satisfied with the improper conduction of online classes. Results revealed that although many of them were worried about the pandemic but some students were excited about spending this time with family whereas many of the students were bored at home. Online classes helped the students in engaging themselves for a certain period of quality time in studies during this COVID-19 lockdown.

A trend can be discerned which explores the views of children and young people. It includes the voices of these children on the issues affecting their lives. Eliciting and understanding children's perspectives have become increasingly important for various reasons. Children are now considered more competent than previously thought in their ability to comment on their own lives and to be involved in making decisions. Researches available in this area reveal the valuable contribution that children and young people can make to debate. This article deals with the importance of involving the perspectives of children with disabilities in researches conducted related to them and it also focuses on the methods and techniques which can be used to elicit the perspectives of these children.

The consequences of deficiencies and disablement are particularly serious for women. Women with disabilities are subjected to social, cultural and economic disadvantages, which impede their access to, for example, health care, education, vocational training and employment. The Biwako Millennium Framework highlights the low status of women and girls with disabilities and the discrimination faced by them while accessing education, vocational training, employment and income generation opportunities. The framework focuses that due to the denied opportunities for development, they lack a sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
Education is urged to be a powerful tool for the welfare of all. But when it comes to educational experiences of women and girls with disabilities- one of the most marginalized group in society, it is seen that disparities exist. This paper briefly reviews the scholarly articles and research studies focusing on the educational status of the women with disabilities and their impediment to education. Various studies indicated the neglected state of education of women with disabilities. Access to educational opportunities was limited for disabled women than disabled men and non-disabled women. Several barriers contributing in the low educational status of these women is stated in the studies reviewed.

Inclusive education and practices of inclusion hold a very important place in the life of children with special needs. It has been defined in various ways to address the learning needs of special children. In almost every country, inclusive education and its practices have emerged as one of the dominant issues in education. Many initiatives and efforts have been taken at International and National forums to support inclusive education and its practices. The present research was conducted to study the status of Inclusive Practices for Children with Special Needs in government and private schools of Lucknow, India. The data was collected from the five government and five private secondary schools of Lucknow through self prepared questionnaire on inclusive practices. Simple percentage method was used to analyse the data. The results of the study revealed that Inclusive practices were more or less available in all the government and private schools of Lucknow which were part of the study. No school was found which had all the four categories of inclusive practices available in all. From the comparison among government and private schools, it can be concluded that private schools were more prepared and equipped in providing inclusive practices to CWSN whereas government schools were not so prepared and equipped. It can be concluded that inclusiveness can’t not be successful alone. To make inclusive practices more successful schools should work with all the stakeholders like teachers, parents, peers and community. School administration should work in the direction of making schools more inclusive for children with special needs.
