As it is the last day of deaf awareness week I though I would share the campaign results. This was the campaign I posted about a couple of weeks ago, it was to see how many people (hearing and deaf) in the UK wanted to learn/interested in learning BSL in school and we could over 2 000 responses from people aged 8-25.
Here are the results;
91% wanted to learn more BSL
92% thought schools should offer a BSL GCSE
97% thought BSL should be taught in schools.
What was really surprising was that 67% of people were hearing while 33% were deaf.
A break down of the individual countries views;
76% were from England, 90% of these wanted BSL to be taught at school, maybe even a GCSE
11% from Scotland, 90% wanted BSL in schools, taught as a National 4/5
9% from Wales, 4 out of 5 wanted learn more
and 4% Northern Irish, 90% wanted to learn more
