"content": "The KICD is mandated in developing the curriculum but they seem to look for what seems to be palatable to them. It is a shame and we must correct this. When we talk about the issue of education for the deaf, we should compare the deaf to even the blind who are equally disabled. There are many blind people in universities but when you talk about the deaf, people always quote one or two. Gone are the days when people were used as rubberstamps. There is need for us to ensure that this Bill becomes law so that it corrects the mistakes that are there. What pains me most is that when results were being announced, Prof. Magoha - I do not blame him because he is not a linguist or a deaf specialist because he was just doing what he is supposed to do - said that there were many passes in KSL. If you ask him to place those children somewhere so that they also have jobs in the future, he will be among the first ones to avoid looking at you. This is because they do not have qualifications. We must ensure that deaf learners are not wasted. We must deliberately make a move to ensure that these people are included. I will give an example of a country I visited when we had a meeting with the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). There was a deaf person who could communicate well in English and French."
