PAD's Education

Since its inception, the Pakistan Association of the Deaf (PAD) has recognized the vital importance of the English language for the Deaf community. PAD offers a dedicated English Language Course for Deaf students, designed to support effective communication in today’s digital and professional environments.

The Pakistan Association of the Deaf (PAD) proudly offers a comprehensive Sign Language Interpreter Training Programme designed for individuals who wish to become skilled and confident interpreters in Pakistani Sign Language (PSL).

The Basic Literacy Programme of the Pakistan Association of the Deaf (PAD) is designed for Deaf individuals who have never attended school or have missed formal education. The programme focuses on building basic educational skills to help learners start or resume their academic journey.

The Pakistan Association of the Deaf (PAD) is committed to gender equality and the empowerment of Deaf women and young girls. PAD believes that access to education, skills, and mobility is essential for independence, confidence, and active participation in society.

Pakistan Association of the Deaf (PAD) has taken a strong initiative to empower Deaf youth through leadership training. PAD believes that Deaf youth are not only future leaders but also agents of positive change in society.

Learning Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) is a fundamental right of every Deaf individual. However, in Pakistan—especially in rural and underserved areas—many Deaf people still do not have access to sign language education. As a result, they face serious communication barriers in their daily lives.
