A dozen special textbooks await hearing impaired students in Kerala
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: 'Pada pada pada pada paravakal paari...' (The birds flew with a fluttering sound). This is how the very first chapter of the revised Class I Malayalam textbook of state syllabus schools begins. But how will a teacher convey it effectively to a student who is hearing impaired? These difficulties have necessitated the introduction of special textbooks and workbooks for hearing impaired students up to Class IV. A dozen such books, designed by the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) after consultation with experts and numerous workshops with teachers, are now ready for distribution. There are nearly 800 hearing impaired students in Classes I to IV in 32 special schools across the state. However, designing special textbooks for them is a tough task due to the varying degrees of hearing impairment. While some have minor hearing disabilities there are others who cannot hear at all, posing a challenge in bringing out textbooks that cater to all of them. 'While the normal Class I textbooks introduce students to various senses, a hearing impaired student has limitations in understanding them. Also, their vocabulary is very limited. We have focused more on pictorial and visual elements in the special textbooks that are also supported by workbooks,' said Anil Kumar A K, Research Officer (Special Education), SCERT. As opposed to normal textbooks that require four to five workshops, special textbooks have been brought out after holding up to 15 workshops with subject experts and teachers. Work on the special textbooks for Class IV will begin this year in tune with the revised textbooks for general schools.

Trichy district ranked sixth overall in the state-level survey. Headmasters and block education officers from five blocks - Trichy Urban, Andhanallur, Thiruverumbur, Pullambadi, and Manikandam - that recorded the lowest performance in the district participated in the meeting. Although an overall district action plan had been submitted at the end of last month, sources said the minister called for increased attention to the underperforming blocks. The minister also said that he will be meeting and motivating the heads of schools and education officials from these lesser performing blocks. "We will be preparing block-specific action plans over the next two to three weeks," a source said. Despite these variations, sources noted that Trichy performed better than the state average in all subjects across the three assessed classes.
