2 hearing impaired from Kovai join BTech

COIMBATORE: They came, they saw, they passed. This refers to two speech and hearing impaired students from Coimbatore Corportion High School for Deaf, who cleared the SSLC public exam to take up engineering course.

Interestingly, the duo - Pandi Murugan, a native of Karaikudi and Naga Devaraj of Coimbatore - have applied for the 6-year Integrated B.Tech course offered by Kalasalingam University in Virudhunagar district this academic year. Repeating its success story, the Coimbatore Corporation High School for Deaf had churned out four students who are now pursing their engineering course at Kalasalingam University under the Speech and Hearing Impaired Persons (SHIP) programme.

Imagine how difficult to impart teaching to speech and hearing impaired persons. Teachers who have been trained specially for this purpose are doing yeomen service in teaching them using sign language and through lip movement.

Express spoke to Corporation High School for Deaf headmistress Tamilselvi, who said that Kalasalingam University offers free of cost the six-year Integrated B.Tech course to those speech and hearing impaired students who are school toppers. As such, Pandi Murugan, the school topper with 300/400 is to get admission while a service organisation has come forward to get a sponsor for Naga Devaraj who scored 296/400.

Thanks to the dedication of headmistress and special teachers of Coimbatore Corporation High School for Deaf who brought laurels to the institution by scoring cent per cent result in the SSLC public exam.
