Deaf Kids Doing Worse At GCSE
January 28, 2013
A breakdown of last summer’s GCSE results suggests that deaf pupils in England are doing a lot worse in their exams than those who can hear.
The research by the National Deaf Children’s Society shows that 37% of deaf children achieved five A* to C grades at GCSE compared to 69% of their hearing peers.
Paralympic sprinter Ben Rushgrove, who won a bronze medal at London 2012, told BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast that the education of young deaf children “is the minimum they can expect from us as a society”.
