Letsatsi said the agreement of cooperation would improve the standard of education delivery for people with special needs, the deaf in this case, which has been facing endless challenges.

He cited lack of financing as a major hindrance to quality and inclusive education given that the country's two specialised deaf training facilities in Ramotswa and Francistown are boarding institutions that are expensive to run."We have been facing a number of challenges at the grassroots level, and the signing of this MoA means a lot to us and our clientele," Letsatsi said.
