Next time a teacher says, 'Put up your hand...'  Well, if sign language is banned in educational programmes they won't be able to.  Instead, the students will just have to shout out their answers, all at the same time.  Sign language, even in rudimentary expressions, is univeral, invaluable, and indispensible.  When it is developed to the same sophisticated level as spoken language, it shows humanty's breadth of skill and adaptation.  We all need language, and we need the one that is most accessible to us, so that our development and freedom of expression are not restricted.

Human rights are "rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled."  Proponents of the concept usually assert that everyone is endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human.

I guess no congress really understand what that mean.  Congress can't take away their right to choose.  They would violated the First Amendment.  They shouldn't interfere family or personal matter.  Please stop controlling deaf people, children or babies.  You people are treating deaf like minority.

Par ce message internationl dont je suis d'accord afin de sensibiliser le monde des sourds .

 Ce message permettra aux autorités politiques du monde de résoudre les divers problèmes majeurs dans leur vie courante en public .

There should be a right to use sign language in educational programs. Discrimination against those needing sign language as an aide to LEARN and partake in society, is truly a violation of civil rights.

#21: SUSAN KIRIMA - DEAF EDUCATION 

I think the issue is not standardisation of signed languages.. I think the issue is more about hearing teachers who are not fluent in the language of the deaf community. Governments often do not require teachers to actually be able to communicate with their students.

Sign Language is the language the deaf understands, it therefore must be made a national language and be used in all our schools so that children can learn while they are young and when they grow they will not find it difficult in communicating with the deaf.

This will enable the deaf to be fully integrated into our society so they can also contribute to the National Development.

Please let everyone speak his own language!

I Annette M Phillips devouring support the Educational programmes for all Deaf, who use the sign language as their truly rights of sign languges.....

This petition I have just signed.... we cannot ban sign language.  Although I am more of a hard-of-hearing person, and mostly an Oralist, I do finger-spell sometimes to some deaf people, even though I find it very hard to read sign language.  But we need to recognize communication in ANY form to be used by all deaf and hard-of-hearing people... fingerspelling and sign language, writing on paper, writing letters through the post, the blackboard in schools, colleges and universities, the white board also in schools, colleges and universities, the overhead projector and similiar equipments, lip-reading, the Lap-Top, I-PAD and similiar computers, Mobile SMS, e-mail, You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, closed captioning, the TTY, Fax, Video-phone and any other forms of communication that may arise in the future.  ALL these forms of communication as stated above should be available for ALL types of Education for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing.

Thankyou.

Respect our language and culture!

Unnecessary discrimination for the sign language because it is the most of communicative life for the deaf world. You can not remove the natural sign language and it developes the educational skills very fast. Unfortunately they always misunderstand and confused by theselves. Deaf people are incconet if they create to desteoy the sign language instead of the protection.

Yes i support Sign Language

In the era of inclusive development, the legitimate concerns of all Persons with Disability, including the deaf, should be given the neccessary recognition.

Sign Language is the natural means of communication for the deaf and must be recognized as such.

ICED hasn't power enough to "force" all deaf school in the world  to use sign language in educational programmes.

Sign Language is mother tougue of the deaf no matter at what stage in life one become deaf. It is the medium of communcation through which the deaf can excharge or share ideas and information most effectively.

The deaf can learn most effectively through the Sign language they understand just like able people use oral or spoken language. So preventing the use of Sign langauge in schools is the same as denying the deaf equel access to  education opportunity. It is an infringement on Deaf rights and should be strongly rejected in its entirty!

In Education,the use and deaf teaching of sign language educational programmes within bilingual(Zambia Sign Language /English)learning environment is essential for some deaf children and adults.The early aacquisition of language is vital to the learning process and for some deaf children Zambia Sign Language will be more accessible than ssspoken language.

 The importance of ssign language as the medium of communication aaaaamong the deaf... should be recognised and provision made to ensure that all deaf persons have access to high education in their national sign language.

Consideration should be given to the use of sign language in the education of deaf children, in their families and communities.Sign Language interpretation services should also be provided to facilitate the communication between deaf persons and others
