Inaccessible infrastructure hinders Kamji Central School’s inclusive education

As Bhutan pursues full inclusivity, investments are being made into setting up inclusive schools for persons with disability. However, in some places, the facilities merely serve the intended purposes due to the lack of accessible infrastructure. In Chhukha, Kamji Central School, one of the two inclusive schools in the district, is facing a similar situation.

Kamji Central School has more than 40 students living with disabilities. Of them, more than 20 students have severe forms of disability.

However, the school lacks disability-friendly infrastructure.

“Because of the location of the school, it is very challenging. Building a ramp is difficult because of steep slopes. Similarly, the toilets are far away from classrooms. Therefore, maintaining hygiene is also difficult,” said Ugyen Dorji, inclusive education coordinator at Kamji Central School.

The school officials are taking extra initiatives by seeking support from individuals and institutions to create a disability-friendly environment. The school says it is important for everyone, who can, to support inclusive education and not leave it to the ministry alone.

Recently, the Bhutan Lottery Limited has supported the school in purchasing classroom furniture for students with disabilities.

They received furniture including semi-circle tables, chairs with flapping boards, special chairs, and other utility items such as water dispensers and washing machines.

“Earlier, the desks and chairs were not comfortable for them. The furniture was bigger than theirs. With the new set of furniture, it has become convenient,” added Ugyen Dorji.

The construction of a ramp is also expected to start soon with support from the district administration.

However, this will not be enough. Many infrastructure still need to be developed to achieve full inclusivity.
