The importance of sign languageas the medium of communication among deaf... should be recognised and provision made to ensure that all deaf persons have equality of opportunity access to education in their national guester of spread sign language. Consideration should be given to the use a guester spread of words sign language in the education of deaf children,in their families and communities.sign language interpretation services should also be provided to facilitate the communication between deaf persons and other. Educational provision for deaf children varies greatly between education authorities,with some not offering bilingual programmes and very few school other provinces of zambia or resources centre bases for deaf children offering any formal teaching of Zambia Sign Language.A lack of access to ZSL learning can adversely affect the language development of some deaf children and so.
