Right to use sign language in educational programmes

Sign language should be recognised by all aas it is one way of human beings to communicate

It's high time everyone recognised the right of the Deaf  community  to use SL in education

Education is most powerful Tool...

NOUS ENCOURAGEONS TOUTES LES PERSONNES EPRIS D'EQUITE A SOUTENIR LA CAUSE DES PERSONNES ATTEINTES DE SURDITE ET DE MUTITE

MERCI

The communication without sign language is incompleted.

Sign language is beautiful.....

It is every individual's right as a human being to have access to information in the format he/she understands.So,right to use sign language is human right.

I fully support the right to use any language as a part of an educational program!

Yeah  with you ! :-)

I believe that all languages should be treated as equal; the ability to communicate is a gift, and those who try to take that gift away show a spirit of prejudice and ignorance, which shouldn't be tolerated.

Sign language is mandatory in educational programs for Deaf students who relies solely on visual cues.  Sign language is a key to nurturing and enrich their cogniztive, intelligent, linguistic, and educational development in an educational setting.   I was thorough both a oral educational setting and sign language education setting msyelf and find sign language a wonderful experience.  Therefore, I strongly support the petition.

Deaf people and deaf children MUST have access to sign language.  It is a visual languge that is easily and completely accessible to people who can not hear.  Without this access it is like closing people's eyes and not letting them touch the world around them. Denying sign language to students in educational programs is an injustice.

Support sign language, support sign language fluency, and support the right for students to learn using a totally accessible medium, sign language!

Exelent!!!! W must continue telling the world educational authorities that Sign Language is the vehicle to the heart of the deaf community. It is the way for education and everything else that invloves the deaf.

Exelente!!!! Debemos continuar decirle a las autoridades educacionales del mundo que la lengua de señas es el camino al corazon de la comunidad sorda. Es la manera para la educación y todo lo que involucra al sordo

Communication should be the top focus for all children in educational settings!

Every deaf child has a right to have effective communication by using sign language for learning in the classrooms.

It is a violation of the deaf's rights yet any body could become deaf any time. The rights of the deaf should be strongly upheld.

If a person with good hearing faculties feels back when he or she misses a word or two and begs pardon, that shows how important getting the communication can be.

In fact, many conflicts arise on account of poor communication. Good communication minimises conflicts and psychological stress.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Sign were taught to all!  Begining in pre school, sign should be part of every curriculum in every school! Deaf children in particular should be taught Sign Language from birth!

We have some really "hard-headed" and "closed-minded" people out there. Traditions established since the Milan Conference will be hard-to-break. 

I grew up in all deaf school, i came out fine. I go to community college and got interpreter. Still come out fine. Why Ban deaf education? how would u feel if if no education for hearing people? lost, eh? Think of deaf peoplw would feel.

I am so glad I can be apart of this!!

I just belive that this is very importent, time for a change.

Ever body uses signs to express his or her self , not only Deaf people, so what about the Deaf? They have to use their sign language too, so that they communicate. 100% correct for all of us to learn Sign language. We miss having them in community because of our ignorance to Sign language.
