1 | Singapore: Retraction of invitation to hearing-impaired educator | Singapore: Fisintonana ny fanasana mpanabe marenindrenina iray |
2 | “Susan Elliot has spent three decades in education and taught thousands of students. | “Nandany telopolo taona mahery tamin'ny fampianarana ary nampianatra mpianatra an'arivony i Susan Elliot. |
3 | She is bright, articulate, and has a great sense of humor,” writes Mr Anthony Mullen on the Teacher Magazine website. | Matsilo saina izy, mahay miteny tsara, ary manana fahaizana manokana amin'ny hatsikana”, hoy Ingahy Anthony Mullen manoratra ao amin'ny tranonkala Teacher Magazine. |
4 | “She teaches social studies and history to mainstream and hearing-impaired students-all in the same classroom. | “Mampianatra ny ara-tsosialy sy tantara amin'ny mpianatra ankapobeny sy amin'ny mpianatra marenindrenina izy, ireo rehetra ireo dia miaraka ao anaty kilasy iray ihany |
5 | Her unique ability to teach social studies and history to both “regular” and hearing-impaired students in the same classroom is a remarkable display of master teaching.” | Ny talenta goavana ananany amin'ny fampianarana ny ara-tsosialy sy tantara amina mpianatra “ara-dalana” sy mpianatra marenindrenina indray miaraka anaty kilasy iray dia ohatra miavaka amin'ny fahaiza-mampianatra”. |
6 | Her credentials were so impressive that the Singapore Ministry of Education invited her to the Teachers' Conference to be held in September in Singapore this year. | Misongadina loatra ny zava-bitany ka nahatonga ny Ministeran'ny Fampianarana any Singapore nanasa azy hanatrika ny Fihaonamben'ny Mpampianatra izay hatao any Singapore amin'ny volana Septambra amin'ity taona ity. |
7 | However, when the MOE learnt that Ms Elliot was hearing-impaired, it withdrew its invitation to Ms Elliot. | Kanefa, raha vao fantatry ny MOE (Ministeran'ny Fampianarana) fa hoe marenindrenina i Ms Elliot, nosintoniny indray ilay fanasany an'i Ms Elliot. |
8 | According to Mr Mullen, the MOE attributed the invitation and then its retraction as a “miscommunication”. | Araka ny fanambaràn'i Mr Mullen, ny fanomezana fanasana avy tamin'ny MOE ary ny fisintonana izany indray avy eo dia toa ny “resaka tsy mifankahazo”. |
9 | “The so-called discovery and subsequent retraction of her invitation was an act of disingenuous statesmanship because the Singapore education officials knew all along that Susan was deaf,” said Mr Mullen whose article was widely circulated on the Internet and social networking site Facebook. | “Ny fahitàna ny kilemany sy ny nisintonana indray ilay fanasana azy dia hevitra ara-politika maloto nataon'ireo olom-panjakana satria efa fantatr'ireo solontenan'ny Fampianarana any Singapore hatrany aloha tany fa marenindrenina i Susan”, hoy Mr Mullen izay manana ny lahatsorany miely patrana any anaty aterineto sy any anaty tranonkala sosialy Facebook any. |
10 | MOE's decision has caused a uproar in the blogosphere, with many bloggers condemning it's decision. | Niteraka tabataba teo amin'ny tontolon'ny mpitoraka blaogy ny fanapahan-kevitry ny MOE, mpitoraka blaogy maro no tohina tamin'io fanapahan-keviny io. |
11 | Popular Singaporean blogger, Mr Brown, slammed MOE's officials. | Mr Brown, mpitoraka blaogy Singaporeana iray fanta-bahoaka, no namelively ireo solontenan'ny MOE. |
12 | He wrote: | Nanoratra [Eng] izy: |
13 | If you have already invited the person, leave her invited lah. | raha efa nasainao ilay olona, aleo izy ho tonga. |
14 | Why retract it unless you found out she is some kind of terrorist or a potential threat to national security? | Nahoana no nalaina ny fanasana raha tsy hoe fantatrao fa toy ireny olona mpampihoroho na olona manohintohina ny filaminam-bahoaka ireny io olona io ? |
15 | And if the MOE really disinvited her because she is, God forbid, DEAF, then shame on you, Singapore education officials. | Ary raha tena tsy hanasa azy marina ny MOE satria izay no zava-misy momba azy, manome tsiny an'Andriamanitra, MARENINA, henatra ho anareo solontenan'ny fampianarana Singaporeana izany. |
16 | You deserve all the international and domestic derision you will get for this. | Mendrika hizaka ny fahafaham-baraka manerana ny firenena sy manerana izao tontolo izao aterak'io ianareo. |
17 | Singaporean blogger, Callan Tham, was worried about the message MOE was sending to students and the world with its decision. | Velom-panahiana ny mpitoraka blaogy Singaporeana iray, Callan Tham, mikasika ny hafatra nalefan'ny MOE ho an'ny mpianatra sy ny olona rehetra miaraka amin'io fanapahan-kevitra io. |
18 | He wrote: | Nanoratra izy: |
19 | I think this is a damaging message to send out to our students and to the world. | Araka ny hevitro dia manimba ny fandefasana iny hafatra iny amin'ny mpianatra sy ho an'ny mpianatsika ary ho an'izao tontolo izao. |
20 | Susan Elliot deserves better, and our students deserve no less. | Mendrika tsara kokoa noho izany i Susan Elliot, ary tsy latsa-danja amin'izany ny mpianatsika. |
21 | This behaviour by our education officials are nothing short of shameful, and the Ministry of Education owes everyone involved a really good explanation. | Mahamenatra ny fitondran-tena nasehoan'ny solontenan'ny fampianarana eto amintsika, ary mila manome fanazavana mandresy lahatra tsara ireo olona voakasika tamin'iny ny Minisiteran'ny Fampianarana. |
22 | MOE has since invited Miss Elliot back to the conference after a Singapore advocacy journalism blog, The Online Citizen, asked MOE about its decision: | Hatreto, taorian'ny fanontanian'ny blaogy miaro ny fahalalahan'ny fampielezam-baovao azy The Online Citizen mikasika ny fanapahan-kevitra noraisiny dia niverina nanasa an'i Miss Elliot indray ny MOE mba hanatrika ilay fihaonambe indray ny MOE: |
23 | In reply to a query by The Online Citizen over the incident, the MOE said “the withdrawal of our invitation to Ms Susan Elliot was a mistake on our part” which resulted from “our misunderstanding about the need for interpreters and her professional experience.” | Ho valin'ny fanontaniana izay napetraky ny The Online Citizen mikasika ny zava-nitranga, niteny ny MOE «Ny fakana indray ilay fanasana tany amin'i Miss Elliot dia hadisoana avy taty aminay » izay vokatry ny «tsy fahazoana resaka na teo amin'ny filana mpandika teny na teo amin'ny fahaizamanaony ». Nilaza ny MOE fa efa nitondra ny fialantsinin'ny minisitera tamin'ny anarany manokana tamin'i Ramatoa Elliot ny lehiben'ny Komity Mpikarakara ny Fivoriambe amin'ny Septembra. |
24 | The MOE says the chairman of the Organising Committee for the September conference has since spoken to Ms Elliot personally to convey the ministry's apologies. | “Tsy maintsy manazava iny toe-javatra iny izahay mialoha ny handraisana fanapahan-kevitra”, izay no navaliny tamin'ny TOC. Nilaza ny MOE fa efa niresaka mivantana tamin-dramatoa Elliot ny lehiben'ny Komity Mpikarakara ny Fivoriambe amin'ny Septembra mba hampita ny fialantsinin'ny minisitera . |
25 | “We should have clarified these matters before making the decision,” it said in its reply to TOC. | “Tsy maintsy nanazava ireny toe-javatra ireny izahay mialoha ny handraisana fanapahan-kevitra”, izay no nambarany ho valinteny ho an'ny TOC. |
26 | “Ms Elliot has accepted our apology and the Organising Committee is delighted that she will participate at the Teachers' Conference in September. | Nandray ny fialantsininay i Ramatoa Elliot ary faly ny Komity Mpikarakara fa handray anjara amin'ilay Fivoriamben'ny Mpampianatra amin'ny Septembra izy. |
27 | We look forward to her contributions in making the Conference a success,” the MOE said. | Tsy andrinay ny hahita ny fandraisan'anjarany mba ho fahombiazan'ilay fihaonambe”, hoy ny MOE.. |
