    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question. (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide data on the enrolment of children with hearing impairment in pre-primary, and in grades one, two and three of lower primary, across special schools, integrated special units and regular mainstream schools from 2022 to date? (b) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide an overview of the Government’s policy on integration of learners with hearing impairment in pre-primary and lower primary education, including details on the measures in place to ensure that the learners receive adequate support and consideration in the mainstream education setting? (c) What is the Ministry’s position on the placement of these learners in pre- primary and lower-primary boarding schools? Could the Cabinet Secretary outline any specific guidelines or recommendations from the Ministry addressing the matter? (d) What provisions and resources does the Government provide to support the education of these learners in pre-primary and lower primary, without necessitating their placement in boarding schools? Could the Cabinet Secretary also state the actions being taken to assure parents that boarding schools are not the only viable option for these learners? Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
