/ #594 Sign language as a language to examine deaf students in schools

2010-10-15 11:20

I hope it will be proper and good for deaf students to be examined using sign language. In case of our country Zimbabwe, most deaf student fail to proceed with education because they are examined with foreign language andexaminers, i mean with teachers who do not understand deaf culture and sign language. In order to meet the Millenium Development Goals - education for all by the end of 2015, include the deaf. Exclusion of deaf  people in the MDGs means its not 'Education for All'.

 
I therefore second the right to use sign language in educational programmes.
