US government allots P2.5-million grant for hearing-impaired Filipino out-of-school youth

THE United States government has provided a P2.5-million grant to expand the learning process for Filipino out-of-school youth who are hard of hearing.

Through this accord, Benilde-SDEAS partnered with the Washington-based Gallaudet University: a bilingual academy which empowers deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals through English language and American sign language. The collaboration aims to establish benchmarks that will enhance training and higher-education access for Filipino deaf OSY.

They are set to develop professional development projects to equip and train Filipino hearing-impaired OSYs in their college entrance examinations and receive their college diplomas.
