Limping Chicken reports on how Deaf student Zanna is taking legal action against proposed changes to the vital Disabled Students Allowance.
Deaf students have only one thing wrong with them, they can’t hear. How difficult is it for this government to provide for them? Their brain is just as capable of absorbing information and learning as hearing students, more so because they don’t have the distractions of sounds. They are by far the easiest ‘disabled’ group to teach, yet so few education authorities provide fully for them. But as with everyone, they first have to learn to communicate, and there is NOTHING nationally in place to provide this, only a scattering of institutions throughout England. Wales have none at all. Scotland’s deaf schools seem mired in problems too.
Equal opportunities in education do not exist, granted post 16 is somewhat better, but infant, junior and secondary education is far behind any acceptable standard.
