The University of Southeastern Philippines joins the global observance of the International Day of Sign Languages every September 23, recognizing the importance of sign languages in advancing communication, inclusion, and the equal participation of Deaf People in society.
For educational institutions, accessible communication is essential to creating learning environments where Deaf Learners can participate fully and pursue their aspirations. At USeP, Deaf Graduates have excelled in their academic pursuits, including those who have earned Latin honors and gone on to pursue professional careers. Their accomplishments reflect what inclusive and accessible higher education can make possible for Deaf Learners.
These achievements are part of the University's continuing commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for Deaf Learners to participate, excel, and contribute to their communities.
In the Philippines, Republic Act No. 11106, or the Filipino Sign Language Act, recognizes Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as the national sign language and calls on State Universities and Colleges to promote FSL awareness, competency, research, development, and preservation.
On this International Day of Sign Languages, USeP recognizes the achievements of Deaf Learners and the importance of advancing an educational environment that respects linguistic diversity, promotes accessibility, and upholds the rights and participation of every learner.
At USeP, we build dreams without limits.
