Abstract
en This paper is a literature review and discussion of the barriers and facilitators of academic performance for learners with hearing impairments in Zambia. This review is necessary to put into perspective factors that may affect the attainment of sustainable development goals particularly goal number 4 on inclusiveness, equity, and lifelong learning. Learners with hearing impairments experience various learning barriers in Zambian schools. Education for learners with hearing impairments in mainstream institutions requires educators to put in place measures that can facilitate learning and academic performance.
Adaptation of curriculum, effective use of assistive technology, and use of appropriate modes of communication are some of the prerequisites to the good academic performance of deaf students. In this article, we shall focus on some of the facilitators to the academic performance of learners with hearing impairments.
