Make Sign Language and Braille Mandatory in Learning Institutions
Make Sign Language and Braille Mandatory in Learning Institutions
The Issue
I recall a day when my friend, who uses sign language, came to my workplace. The distress was palpable as no one could communicate directly with him. It was a disheartening realization that sparked the need for this petition.
The World Health Organization states that over a billion people globally live with some form of disability- that's approximately 15% of the world's population. A substantial portion of these individuals communicate in unique ways - either through sign language or Braille. If sign language and Braille were taught widely, we could eliminate the communication barriers that isolate our friends, family, and valued customers.
By implementing Sign Language and Braille education in schools, we can create an inclusive society that values the needs of everyone, enabling seamless interaction between individuals, regardless of their abilities. Let us work towards a world where it is easy for kids with special needs to play, families and friends to communicate, and clients can get service anywhere without needing translators.
We must demand that our educational establishments make it mandatory to teach sign language and Braille. This is not just for those with special needs, but for everyone, to foster unity and seamless communication.
Don't disregard the difference you can make. Sign this petition for a more inclusive society. Let's make learning Sign Language and Braille mandatory.
