Sammi Awuku, Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, has made a passionate appeal to Parliament to take decisive steps toward strengthening inclusive education for students with disabilities, especially those in the deaf community.
Speaking during parliamentary proceedings on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, Awuku emphasized the need for targeted civic education, formal recognition of Ghanaian Sign Language, and improved support systems for teachers in deaf education. "Mr.
Speaker, Parliament must champion the development of civic education programs tailored to students with disabilities.
These should be implemented through the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and mainstreamed across the country," he urged.
