Stop Moving Deaf To Mainstream Schools

Petition: Stop moving Deaf children to Mainstream Schools, Keep and Open more Deaf Schools.


More Deaf Schools has been closed in last few decades which means more parents of Deaf children have very fewer choices. One or two limited choices available which forced the parents to make decision to move their children to Mainstream schools.

It costs the Government MORE money to spend money on BSL CSWs or BSL interpreters and all extra unnecessary support for few Deaf pupils at Mainstream Schools.

It was said that many Deaf children losing their Deaf identities including found this is a big barrier to access to Deaf Culture and to Sign Language.

Many Deaf people become Qualified Teachers NOW! More Deaf people are qualified in specialist subjects and they can teach at Deaf Schools.

"The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) promotes and safeguards the right of all Deaf people to quality education, starting at birth and throughout life. As for all learners, Deaf children have the same right to education and full access to quality education."

WFD then says "Full inclusion for a Deaf learner means a totally supportive, signing and student-centred environment. This permits the learner to develop to his/her full educational, social and emotional potential. This is stated also in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities".

"Otherwise, inclusion as a simple placement in a regular school without meaningful interaction with classmates and professionals at all times is tantamount to exclusion of the Deaf learner from education and society. In such environments, the Deaf child is physically present but may be mentally and socially absent."

Deaf children should not experience mentally and socially absent, as they should easily access to high quality of education via Deaf teachers or Teachers who hold high level of sign language communication.

We are asking the Government to change the current policy of mainstream schools and adopt a language policy to ensure to protect Deaf Schools, and find ways to reopen more Deaf Schools.
