/ #192 Right to use sign language in educational programmes

Sign language is the natural language for deaf people.  To deny deaf children and adults their natural language in learning and education is to deny them the right and benefit to expand their knowledge.

For the dominately hearing world, that learning is taken for granted.  For those of us who are deaf, we have to fight for that right. Good education with teachers fluent in sign language and deaf culture opens that window to a wider world.  We benefit all around with that learning.
