This papers presents the results of research that was aimed at testing the performance of deaf and hard of hearing (D/HOH) high school students in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The research examined the correlation between the age (number of years of learning EFL), the degree of hearing loss, the sex and the school success in the Serbian language with the achievements of the D/HOH students in solving an English Placement test. The differences in achievements between D/HOH students and those with a normal hearing status were also compared and analyzed. The results of the research indicate that although the D/HOH students achieve poorer results in learning English compared to students with a normal hearing status, they can be successful in learning English as a foreign language. The D/HOH students have some difficulties in learning English vocabulary and grammar. They need more time to successfully master a foreign language, so it is necessary to take into account the specificities of this category of EFL students and to adapt teaching methods and resources to suit their needs.

The low education index causes the low HDI achievement of the Selayar Islands Regency because the achievement of education index is lower than the health index and the expenditure index. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the education index. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the education index. This study uses secondary data in the form of panel data which is a combination of time series data from 2014 to 2019 and cross section data from 11 sub-districts. Panel data to measure the factors that affect the Education Index were analyzed using regression analysis. The results showed that the teacher to student ratio at elementary school had a negative effect on the education index, the class to student ratio at elementary school had a positive effect on the education index, while the school to student ratio at elementary school, school to student ratio at junior high school, class to student ratio at junior high school and teacher to student ratio at junior high school had no effect on the education index.
