2010-09-24 21:34

Paraguay does not have a curriculum to teach deaf children in SL.

The oralism continue in all the Deaf Schools,we only have one public school with only 60 pupils and only until 6th grade. no until 9th grade like the regular schools.

There are religious institutions that  punish Deaf Children because they sign,even outside the class,this occurs until now. 

Paraguay does not obey the following art. of the Convencion;30.4/21.e/9.2 e/24.3b and so on.All related with the right of the use of SL and the respect of Deaf Culture.Also the right of be inform though interperters. 

We need the visit of members of the WFD so they can realized about the real situation of the Deaf comunity in Paraguay.They have to meet all the Deaf Associations.
