About the Organization

Sol’s ARC is a registered NGO dedicated to inclusion and equity for individuals with disabilities. For the past 20 years, we have worked to ensure that every child learns and every adult earns. We partner with State Governments, SCERTs, and schools to design inclusive curriculum, build teacher capacity, and improve learning outcomes for children with special needs.

The role combines inclusive curriculum development expertise with strong facilitation and mentoring skills.

 This role is both academic and field-based: one day you may be revising lesson plans or assessments, the next day you’ll be in a district classroom guiding teachers, or presenting feedback to the State Inclusive Education Coordinator.
