Problems on L? school integration of the auditive defective children in Africa
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo



Doesn't Aristote support “qu? it N? is worse injustice than to also treat unequal people”?

To live or be born with a handicap does not have anything easy whatever the corner of the world where the person is. Indeed, the obstacles to be surmounted are multiple. Thus the Nations Plain declared the decade 1983-1992, decade of the people handicapped. L? is stress laid on the fight against stigmatization with the installation of strategies of sensitizing and the creation of promotion and D? integration. Being made L? echo of the Nations Linked, L? OAU declares in the tread the Handicapped years 1999-2009 Decade of the People.

Generally, the people handicapped live for various reasons in margin of the company and their living conditions are even more precarious in the underdeveloped countries. The most known image of a handicapped person is that of a person having to move in wheel chair but there is a very large variety of handicaps, some being able to be very discrete, such as deafness.

L? one universally considers at 278 million the people suffering from a moderate or major auditive loss of the two ears. Among the people who need an auditive help, less one (01) out of forty (40) has which it. Eighty percent of the people reached of auditive deficiency live in countries with bottom or average incomes and a quarter of auditive deficiencies occur during childhood (WHO, 2005).

In the industrialized countries, technology, medicine and the social services place at the disposal of the handicapped people a whole series of means facilitating the life to them or attenuating their difficulties. On the other hand, in the underdeveloped countries and in the process of development, in particular the countries of L? Sub-Saharan Africa, the handicapped person is forced to live with its handicap without any average palliative most of the time.

In Africa, people a long time regarded the auditive defective people as mental patients, “things”, “trick”, preventing them from learning anything. In certain countries, people continue to believe that the deaf people are had by “spirits démoniaques and malefic”. These practices show at which point the auditive defective people can have a miserable condition. Because of the weight of certain traditions, the birth of a child in particular handicapped an auditive defective child in a African family, gives place to interpretations and prejudices of any kind. Thus, often neglected by the family, marginalized by the company, been unaware of of the State, sometimes illiterates and without employment, the deaf persons in Africa still currently live a situation far from being enviable.
The deaf child unfortunately causes little interest on the Community level but also at the family level. The investment of the parents near the deaf children is often negligible. Many deaf children D? Africa are not registered at the school.

The auditive defective children, just like the other children in situation of handicap, test enormous needs for education, training, framing, housing, nutrition, health, etc They are today victims of the phenomenon of exclusion in the company. However, for the deaf children, the key is to learn: to learn not only the school matters but especially to learn the world, to learn which they are, namely of the people with whole share full with capacities and possibilities that one must wake up in them.

Right to L? is education one of the basic rights of L? man. Does any human being need D? an education to acquire knowledge allowing him to draw profit from the advantages and opportunities which do present nature and the company in a general but also to carry out life descent and worthy way, of S? to affirm as a full member of his community for finally taking part in its development.

D numbers? do studies reveal that L? education has a considerable influence on the social and professional life of the people.
In this direction, L? does school constitute the first stage towards socialization apart from L? home environment. However, of the thousands D? do individuals still continue aujourd? today D? in being private in the world.
It S? acts inter alia people handicapped in general and people reached of deafness in particular who are victims of L? social exclusion of any kind.
We notice a growing interest these last years for the questions D? social integration of the handicapped children. But this integration desired by all, N? is not without raising a certain number of questions. Is this insertion really beneficial for L? child, or N? is qu? a provisional relief for its family? S? does it act D? a true social and teaching integration allowing L? child to take part in the educational activities and the life of group, or N? is this qu? a guarding, attentive but passive, even a simple kind of “lure” for the family which moves back in front of the reality of the handicap and L? orientation towards an establishment specialized of which L? could child profit earlier?


Always is qu? it is important D? to integrate L? deaf child in the school system as of L? childhood. D? after a Ratio of 1991 presented by the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations on the Rights of L? man and L? disability, in the majority of the countries, one (01) nobody out of ten (10) at least has a physical, cognitive or sensory handicap (hearing/seen). In other words, there is between 50 and 55 million D? handicapped children of less than 12 years, of which less than 5% should reach L? objective of L? education for all, which is to finish the primary education cycle. And this number is undoubtedly in increase in the fact even of the situation of L? Africa with L? current hour, which is characterized by the progression of poverty, the wars, the child work, violence and the abuses, and Vih/Sida, etc


How not to be indignant in front of the situation these constrained deaf children to remain at the house when the other children are with L? school. Are they so different from the other children at the point not to receive a school education? Do there exist difficulties specific to the deaf children? Is they predisposed to be in school failure? How to recognize and take into account their difference?
It is thus important to think an integration best adapted for L? auditive defective child and to take into account its school weaknesses.
