*The Truth about Deaf Education in India*

In a world with over 70 million deaf individuals, India stands as one of the countries with a significant deaf population, with estimates of at least 18 million according to the National Association of Deaf, (it is 5 million as per Census 2011, but the numbers are definitely higher).

However, behind these numbers lies a stark reality:

- Fewer than 5% of deaf have access to quality education within school systems.
- An alarming less than 0.1% of them can access quality higher education opportunities.
- Over 90% of parents raising deaf children are hearing and often lack familiarity with sign language or deaf culture.
- The early years of many deaf children are often marked by a relentless search for solutions, spanning medical consultations and spiritual avenues, in a quest to "fix" their child's condition.
- Regrettably, the majority of medical professionals seldom even present "Sign Language" as a viable option. Instead, hearing aids or cochlear implants are universally recommended, while sign language is omitted or straight away denied.
- This leads to a shocking scenario where more than 95% of deaf children face language deprivation. The absence of a sign language-rich environment during their critical language development years (0-3 years) results in lasting cognitive, social, emotional, and academic challenges throughout their lives.
- When deaf children eventually struggle to communicate or perform adequately with hearing aids or cochlear implants or mainstream education, they are often placed into deaf schools, when the critical period of language development (0 to 6 years) has already passed.
- Even in deaf schools, apart from a few exceptions, the majority of teachers are not fluent in sign language. This oversight stems from the lack of priority for sign language training in their teacher education programs.
- Consequently, many deaf children merely traverse through their school years, devoid of true understanding or meaningful learning. They resort to copying, pasting, or even cheating, sometimes with the help of teachers. Astonishingly, teachers sometimes shift the blame to these children for their perceived sluggishness or apathy, all the while neglecting their own failure to learn sign language over their extended careers.
- Often, parents remain estranged from learning sign language, leading to strained relationships with their children. Countless deaf girls find themselves married off prematurely, curtailing their educational aspirations. At home, isolation and mounting frustration become silent companions, creating an ever-growing internal struggle.
- Sign Language, the lifeline for communication among the deaf, emerges informally from interactions with peers and older deaf individuals. Its inherent linguistic structure and grammar often remain unknown to them.
- The revelation of Deaf Identity, Deaf Culture, and the significance of Sign Language typically dawns on them only after their school years, sometimes when they encounter deaf teachers or leaders for the first time.
- Regrettably, by this point, the damage is done. Struggling with low literacy levels and subpar education, they often confront a landscape of unemployment and restricted career paths.
- Daily tasks like communicating with offices, healthcare professionals, or handling commonplace online orders become herculean challenges, as they must repeatedly rely on hearing individuals around them for assistance.
- Despite these myriad challenges, the deaf community exhibits remarkable resilience. They endeavor to educate the hearing world around them, celebrating their language and fostering unity through deaf events and gatherings. These moments serve as a source of connection and a glimpse of a brighter future for generations to come. Deaf role models and leaders, juggling their personal lives, step up to offer guidance and counseling to the countless deaf individuals seeking support in the absence of accessible alternatives.
- And thus, the cycle perseveres.

Special Education is also Education. Deaf Children are also children of this country. The bright minds are kept illiterate and uneducated due to systematic abuse. This needs to STOP. We must allow deaf children to learn in their sign language and thrive at par with hearing children.

We urge @PMOIndia @rashtrapatibhvn @MSJE_AIC @MSJEGOI @UNICEFEducation @ugc_india @MoHFW_INDIA @discommgoa @Drvirendrakum13 @PratimaBhoumik to take action and ensure rights of deaf children are protected.
