Have sign language added statutory lesson in school as part of the curriculum.
To bring in place for children to be taught sign language in school as part of their curriculum activities.
In a country where everybody is considered to be equal there still appears to be a barrier with both children and adults being able to communicate effectively due to hearing impairment, loss and deafness. Not all children and adults have the privilege or ability to be able to travel abroad and be in contact with others where another language is needed to be used or that the language they are taught in school is needed where as there is a much greater chance sign language is needed in their life.
