Learning together for hearing and deaf.
New Headteacher Mr. Ssembatya Moses and his staff have taken a great step forward in education with exciting results at K.P.P.S. (Kamuli Parents Primary School) at Maria’s Care. Since January 2010 the Unit for the Deaf and hearing impaired pupils has grown to 75 and now includes all Primary classes P1 through to P7. Finding staff to sign and specialise in Maths, Science, and English for the older classes is very difficult in Uganda. So integration in learning has proved the answer to improve standards for the deaf, who have to sit the same exams as the hearing children. Signing for deaf children is now part of joint classes for pupils of P6 and P7. There is an added benefit to hearing pupils because they are quickly learning signing too!
Integrated learning in P7 of deaf and hearing children
CRU Trustee Roger Hand spent four days staying at Mara’s Care in March and said,’ My overriding impression whilst there was the enthusiasm of the deaf children for learning. They enjoy being with the rest of the school, sharing lessons and excelling in music, drama and sports.’
