Principle: We will continue to build capacity to provide educational opportunities for BSL users at the University of Edinburgh and improve BSL opportunities in the Scottish education system. HTML Actions: The University will: Encourage more Deaf students to apply to the University in partnership with local and national education stakeholders. Explore the development of courses and programmes which support deaf BSL users into the teaching profession. Recruit more Deaf BSL users to initial teacher education and teacher of deaf children degrees at Moray House School of Education and Sport. Continue to support and promote the excellence of our BSL research, particularly the Scottish Sensory Centre’s BSL Glossary Project. The glossary consists of nearly 4000 BSL signs for STEM terminology to support deaf children, their educators and interpreters in schools. Continue to expand our offerings of BSL courses for both university students and the wider community. This article was published on 2024-10-29
