Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Mired Raad Zeid Al-Hussein, President of the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (HCD), and in the presence of His Excellency Mr. Lee Jae-wan, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Jordan, and Mr. SEO Dongsung, the Country Director of the Korea International Cooperation Agency\u2019s (KOICA) Office in Jordan, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed, today, between KOICA and HCD to implement a project, titled \u201cConducting an Assessment of Sign Language on Primary and Secondary Deaf Students and Those Who are Hard-of-Hearing\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project aims to enhance the quality of inclusive education for the deaf and hard-of-hearing in Jordan. The project will produce an assessment of the status quo of academic Sign Language in primary education (including early childhood education, ECE) and secondary education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In doing so, the project also expects to produce a scientific and realistic view and scope of the challenges \u2013and gaps\u2014within the field of Sign Language, in relation to communication efficacy and language evolution. In his remarks during the signing ceremony of the MoU, Prince Mired commended KOICA\u2019s efforts in supporting Jordan and HCD, noting that the Jordanian Constitution has stipulated equal rights to education for all citizens without discrimination and exclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His Royal Highness also underscored the need for more concerted efforts between HCD and its partners so as to create an educational system that is inclusive of diversity and difference; a system that responds to the requirements of people with disabilities to access educational services and programmes on an equal basis with others within a barrier-free environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MOU reaffirms the efforts and commitments of the Republic of Korea to support high-quality and sustainable development outcomes in Jordan and both parties assure that this partnership will support the students to achieve a better way of life, more social inclusion, and a higher quality of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement also reiterates HCD\u2019s continued efforts in providing all it can in terms of support to students with different disabilities to ensure their access and academic requirements are met on an equal basis with their peers without disabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
