Great to see @sgloscouncil change their policy on radio aids to help #deaf children communicate better with their families. 🎉 A massive thank you to @LukeHall for all his support on this issue! It would be great to see @bathnes, @NorthSomersetC and @BristolCouncil follow suit.

We have found that a ‘lost generation’ of #deaf children are falling an entire grade behind at GCSE and it will take 21 years to close the gap. We’re calling on the Government to address the problem and provide the right funding for every deaf child: bit.ly/2tomekd

Yes indeed. @meshguides tick all the boxes for teachers in developed and developing countries.

Good to see the world bank prioritising teacher development - but let’s focus on solutions, we don’t need more research on the problems. @MESHGuides are a prof. Devp. tool developed for teachers by teachers and teacher educators across many countries. @WBG_Education
