Comparision of SakarSpecial School with Special Schools in Delhi
Special Schools in Delhiget assembling work from different factories . In Delhi factories producedifferent parts & special children if taught same work with repititionsthey do it with perfection. This assembling work strengthen vocational wing ofspecial schools & not only the special children are rehabilitated butspecial schools also get benefitted.
Many special school arerunning without any government aid as parents of special children are capableto pay handsome fees to these special schools. There are many special schoolsin Delhi running successfully.
If we compare Sakar withthese schools then find that it is tough to run special school in our areawhere such facilities are not available & parents are not capable to pay fees of their specialchildren.
