The Department of Education (DepEd) is strengthening the capacity of educators to provide linguistically accessible instruction for Deaf learners through the National Training on Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as Medium of Instruction for Deaf Learners, being held from September 28 to October 2, 2026 at the DepEd ECOTECH Center.

Organized by the Bureau of Learning Delivery – Student Inclusion Division (BLD-SID), the five-day intensive training brings together key implementers and school leaders to enhance their instructional competencies in FSL and strengthen the implementation of Republic Act No. 11106, or the Filipino Sign Language Act.

The initiative underscores the importance of equipping educators with the skills needed to use FSL effectively in the classroom, helping create inclusive, equitable, and linguistically accessible learning environments for Deaf learners nationwide.

The National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) supports this initiative and other efforts that advance the rights of persons with disabilities and promote inclusive education across the country. 💙

Ayon sa World Federation of the Deaf, mahigit 70 milyon ang kabilang sa Deaf community sa buong mundo, higit 80% sa kanila ay nasa mga papaunlad na bansa, at mahigit 300 sign languages ang ginagamit sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng mundo.

Ipinapakita nito kung gaano kahalaga ang pagkakaroon ng sapat na access sa komunikasyon, edukasyon, trabaho, at mga serbisyong pampubliko upang walang naiiwan dahil lamang sa paraan ng kanilang pakikipag-usap.

Ito ang diwa ng Republic Act No. 11106 o Filipino Sign Language Act, na aking inakda at co-sponsored. Kinikilala nito ang Filipino Sign Language bilang pambansang sign language ng Filipino Deaf at itinataguyod ang paggamit nito sa edukasyon at mga opisyal na transaksyon upang mas maging accessible ang mga serbisyo at oportunidad.

Sa International Day of Sign Languages, kinikilala natin ang sign language bilang mahalagang bahagi ng pagkakapantay-pantay, dignidad, at ganap na pakikilahok sa lipunan.
