There is a lot of joy in the Central Deaf Secondary School in Naxal. The reason for the joy is that all 21 students who participated in the SEE exam were 'graded'. This SEE result has created excitement in the school premises.
The learning style of the students here, who read and understand the world through signs, is different from that of ordinary students. That is why the success they have achieved has special significance and meaning. The school, established to give voice to voiceless children through education, has become a beautiful place for their dreams, confidence and potential through sign language.
Kushal Karki, 16, who had given the SEE, was excited since Monday evening on Monday evening when he was told that the results would come. He was waiting for the results to be published, telling his family the grade he had predicted.
He saw the results shortly after the publication. He was very happy to see the grade he had obtained. He even shared his happiness with his family through signs. Kushal said that he got the results according to his hard work. ‘I didn’t get the number I thought I would, but I’m happy with what I got,’ he said, ‘Now I’m thinking of getting even better numbers in 11th and 12th.’
Kushal says that he succeeded by rereading what he had already studied during the exam. ‘I revise what I have already studied.’ I really enjoy studying computer, English and mathematics,’ he said.
He hopes that a good college will open for students like him who study through sign language. He said, ‘I want to be able to study up to postgraduate level in Nepal,’ he said.
Kushal was deaf since he was a child. In the early days, his family did not know that he was deaf. A few years later, when he was taken to the hospital, the family came to know that he was deaf. His family took him to many hospitals for treatment, but it was not possible.
His father Shiva Karki said that Kushal, who was good at reading, was initially enrolled in a regular school. At that time, he said that after Kushal felt uncomfortable, he was enrolled in Sindhu Bahira Secondary School, which teaches through sign language. After studying in Sindhu Bahira Secondary School till 8th grade, he came to Kathmandu for secondary level studies. He had been studying with his grandparents. Both Kushal's parents are teachers. Kushal's father Shiva Karki and mother Sakhila Karki say that the family is very happy with the results achieved by his son. 'There will be the same question paper for children with special abilities and other children. It is a joy to do so well even on the basis of reading in sign language,' he said.
Shiva said that Kushal was very interested in reading. He said, 'We are happy with the marks he got. Now study well, the marks you got are good.' We have reminded them that .’
Kushal had already told his family about his interest in technical education . ‘Kushal is interested in technical education . Even though he studies up to 11th/12th, there is not much technical education in graduation,’ he said, ‘It is sad that there are no schools and colleges for students with special abilities in Nepal and that the government does not prioritize it . I wish that this matter would be taken into account in the coming days . Children with special abilities should not be deprived of any opportunity .’

Like Kushal, Renews Shrestha also looks very happy after being ‘graded’ in SEE . He is sharing his happiness with his family through sign language . 18-year-old Renews also studied at the Central Deaf Secondary School . Born in Chitwan, Renews started reading through sign language from grade 3 . Although it was uncomfortable at first, he says that sign language is gradually making his life easier.
‘I am very happy that the results came as expected. I have received the fruits of my hard work,’ he said, ‘I used to look at the notes I had prepared while studying in class during the exam. I used to remember what the teachers and ma’ams who taught me said.’ Renew says that he likes computer studies and wants to pursue that field.
He wishes there were universities in Nepal with facilities for deaf students. ‘I like computer subjects. I am also gaining knowledge about it. I plan to study IT and work in my country,’ he said, ‘But there are no colleges in Nepal for those who want to study IT through sign language.’ If the government had made arrangements for it, the dreams of many friends like me would have come true.’
She complains that there are no subjects for students studying through sign language as expected, and colleges have not prioritized them either.’
Renew’s mother Manju Shrestha is also very happy with her son’s progress. ‘We are very happy. We left Chitwan to Kathmandu to educate our son,’ she said. ‘We plan to educate him as he wants in the future too.’ Renew’s English and writing are very good.’

16-year-old Sujina Lo, who studied through sign language, said she was very happy after passing SEE. ‘I first told my mother and father the news of passing.’ They were more happy than me,’ she said. She said that she is now planning to do some work while studying 11th/12th. ‘I am happy to have passed. Now I am thinking of studying Plus Two well,’ she said, ‘I am thinking of working in a cafe while studying Plus Two. I dream of studying in my own country and getting a job,’ she said.
Her father Bhim Bahadur Lo says he is happy with his daughter’s results. ‘Suzina was deaf since she was a child. Even after taking her to the hospital and having her ears examined several times, it did not get better,’ he said, ‘After that, I wondered what would happen to her daughter’s studies. I am very happy to have passed SEE by studying with just hand signals.’

School principal Upendra Parajuli is happy with the results obtained by the student in SEE. ‘I think our students have a greater ability to focus on the subject matter than normal students,’ he said, ‘that’s why they also get good results by studying in sign language.’
He says that the process of teaching students also plays a big role. ‘The school teaches completely through sign language,’ he said, ‘It is easier for students to understand because teachers use alternative methods and easy means to explain.’
Parajuli says that if there is enough visual material, their learning process will be easier and of higher quality. Keeping in mind the demand and ability of the students, Parajuli says that the school has made ‘Computer Science’ a compulsory subject in grades 11 and 12. ‘He has experience that students are very good at understanding subjects with visual material and using computers.’
He complains that the government has not provided separate support for schools that educate deaf students. ‘The school has the same facilities as other community government schools. There is no special arrangement for deaf students,’ he said.
The school informed that deaf students who have passed this school are working as teachers teaching various subjects in sign language to five-star hotels and industrial factories in Nepal.
Established in 2023, this school has been giving SLC/SEE exams since 2055. So far, 530 students have passed from the school. Out of 21 students who participated in SEE from Central Deaf Secondary School, 13 were boys and 8 were girls.
