dc.description.abstractThe research was conducted to establish problems affecting education for the hearing impaired learners. To investigate the study thoroughly, a case study was carried out at Karen Technical Training Institute For the Deaf. The purpose of the research was to identify the major reasons why most hearing impaired people remain below form four the standard level in education. The objectives were set to create an awareness to the families and society concerning their negative contributions that impair the deaf to further heights than just the hearing impairment itself The other objective was aimed at exploring and giving suggestions concerning ways of helping the minority group of the hearing impaired community by redesigning their schools and planning their education. The final objective aimed at suggesting ways to overcome low self-esteem by equipping the hearing-impaired child with quality and competitive education that meets the challenges and demands in the current society. In literature review and field work library materials, questionnaires and interviews were used to investigate the research problem and the findings were obtained on three levels. 1). On society level: the major problem portrays the issue being he deep rooted negative social attitude towards the hearing impaired people. 2). On education basis, the major problem felt is the undeveloped education system and lack of proper facilitation of the institutions for the good of the learners. 3). Communication-barrier was identified as the basic element that warrants the hearingimpaired learners to be referred to as students with special needs requiring specially trained personnel who will effect communication that facilitates effective teaching and learning. After reviewing the findings, the researcher observes that the idea of discrimination against the hearing impaired people highlights the aspect of ignorance on the part of society. In order to uproot it, the researcher recommends guidance and counselling sessions to parents and community in close association in the impaired persons. The hearing-impaired students should be involved in every activity, both in school and at home and the impairment must never be used as an excuse for lack of participation. Finally, an elaborate educational policy must be put in place to look into the welfare of the hearing-impaired learners and the smooth running of the school. For further study, the researcher recommends that other problems affecting educational programmes for the hearing impaired be explored in depths.en_US
