Two Vanuatu hearing impaired students to study in Fiji

Vanuatu currently has no schools that can teach deaf children the sign language and the Gospel School for the Deaf is the only school of its kind in the Pacific region.

Pikinini Playtime Principal, Carol Batten, said there is only one more step in a long-term plan to provide education in sign language in Vanuatu.

“We sent Michael and his teacher Miss Edikiel to the GSD for six months in 2019. They both did so well that the school asked the two of them to return this year and they also offered to accept more students”.
