Syllabus must be modified for the deaf

Speaking at the handing over of classrooms by First National Bank Botswana to Ramotswa Centre for the Deaf on Wednesday, Deputy School Head, Olivia Mosaanana revealed that the pass rate is poor and pupils proceed to junior school with Ds and Es as the current primary school curriculum does not favour them.

She said that the syllabus contains material for people with hearing and listening capabilities, which is a great challenge to pupils with hearing impairment.
