Our democratic principle states that all children have equal right to learn whether they are below average, average, bright, dull, retarded, blind, deaf, crippled, delinquent and emotionally disturbed in their capacities to learn. Equal opportunity indicates two things –one equality of access to school education and second one equality of success in school. Every society has value to give social justice and is anxious to improve that lot of the common man and cultivate all available talent and potentiality must ensure progressive equal opportunity to all sections of the nation. Every class room there some different students who have some lacks in learning, they have needed extra support, helps from the teacher to learn. Teacher must try to understand special students needs. If they are not trying to understand their needs later may they drop out from the school.
