<p>The department received a proposal from the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS)
for a central bursary scheme to fund trainee teachers of the hearing impaired. After
consideration the department found that it did not provide strong enough evidence

deaf.</p><p>Officials are working with NDCS and other organisations in the sensory
impairment sector to identify non-bursary solutions to support teachers wishing to
train as teachers of the deaf, or teachers for the sensory impaired more widely.</p><p>
