To Improve Quality of Education of the Disabled
The Ministry of Education is organizing effective workshops to improve the level of education for the disabled, true to the intention of the Workers` Party of Korea on setting up a nationwide education support system for the disabled.
As new textbooks and reference books for persons with hearing impairment have been compiled, officials of the Ministry of Education and the relevant units are carrying out detailed plans for workshops to help educators at the teacher training colleges and the general education sector acquire sign language teaching methods.
The teachers’ in-service training school under Kim Hyong Jik University of Education is directing primary efforts to making all trainees take part in the workshop purposefully and consciously with a full understanding of the WPK’s policy on the protection of the disabled and the importance of education for the disabled.
It is actively organizing lectures of educators at various units, who have made successes in the education of the disabled, so as to generalize their experience.
