" Being able to have a platform to share my knowledge and skills with people on a broader platform as well as having the honor of learning from like-minded people is particularly exciting for me. Can't wait to delve into issues pertaining to deaf education in Ghana and try to find solutions to them . "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Deaf Access Initiative
As a teacher of the Deaf and a university student in the field, I have observed how inaccessible Ghana's education system is for Deaf students. The curriculum is predominantly hearing-centered, from its content to the individuals delivering it. My project focuses on bringing stakeholders in Deaf education together to dialogue for better education for the Deaf and to bridge the gap between the Deaf and hearing communities in Winneba.
