Abstract
Deaf and hard-of -hearing learners comprise 5% of the school population, but their school attendance drops significantly between their early and late school years. Challenges in the acquisition of literacy may be at the root of their limited progress in the education system. Two experts in the field of Deaf education shared their insights at a recent HSRC seminar. Antoinette Oosthuizen reports.-
