Sign Language To Be Included In School Curriculum

 Hey everyone!

 Today with God's blessings I can hear and talk but I don't know whether I will be able to do so tomorrow. Heredity, adolescence, old age, accidents etc. can lead to temporary or even permanent hearing loss or speech impairment. Just think about your life where suddenly you cannot hear or speak ..  Over 5% of the world's and 6% of India's population is hard of hearing. Parents of children hard of hearing or with speech impairments, face difficulty to communicate to their offspring, these people are surrounded with people of heir community, but they don't have a fair opportunity to come to the mainstream of the society. Many institutions are working to educate people about sign language and the urge to learn it, to use it as a common language spoken. What can be the solution to this problem ? I think that schools should teach  sign language to students as a language subject. This way our future generation will be ready to talk to the persons hard of hearing or with speech impairment. These people would have a better living condition with mutual understanding and support. This would also generate a lot of employment opportunities to people who can teach sign  language to school children. Hope this message reach influential people who can make this thought a reality.
