In UK, charities reported that more than 27% of deaf children are taught in classrooms by teachers who use face masks, causing distress to them because of impossibility to read lips. They declaim that if this continues for a long-time, education problem will appear for the chanceless generation.
Since March teachers have a double duty: to teach and to protect little lives, which is very difficult to be handled without help and the cooperation of state institutions, that have appropriate expertise. In September the government promised to distribute clear face masks for all staff who teach deaf children, but until now nothing is done.
Charities propose even alternative solutions such as radio aids and ask government to fund schools with propriate equipment for those who suffer from hearing impairment to cope with this big problem.
