Deaf aid

THE Balearic Government has allocated €1.2m to supporting deaf and hard of hearing children in educational settings. Funds will go towards hiring sign language interpreters to allow increased support for 326 pupils who require these services.

These will add to the nine specialists already employed to help deaf pupils lead a more inclusive life in school.
