A year ago, it was later confirmed that the nation's first hospital school, which opened in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, for students with moderately redundant disorders such as brain lesions, was closed due to management difficulties.

Students with disabilities who had been studying for the sudden closure of the hospital school were losing their school overnight.

According to the Gyeonggi-do Office of Education, the Bronco Memorial Hospital Hospital School (now Hwaseong First Hospital) was closed on the 1st of this month.

Students and parents were informed that the previous owner was informed at the end of July.

There were two special teachers in charge of four kindergarten classes and four elementary schools.

Classes include graffiti, origami, and paste.

Attendance was recognized when attending classes for more than an hour a day.

Kim Hee-woon (12), who was unable to talk with people and had difficulty with sitting on his own, was the first school in this hospital.

Kim's mother said, "My child makes a smile while he is in class. It was an expression of" very good. " Said.

Kim is known to be dedicated to hospital care.

The hospital was made by Roh Soo-jin, a rehabilitation physician who was the director of the Bronco Memorial Hospital at the time, and a staff member of a hospital corporation.

Noh, who worked at the hospital from May last year to December of the same year when the school opened, said, "The students with developmental disabilities are children who need long-term treatment. I think it's a pity that the hospital school is missing when I think of the children I loved.

However, Hwaseong Bronco Memorial Hospital was renamed Hwaseong First Hospital in November last year, and its chairman was changed.

Hwasung Cheil Hospital decided to eliminate the rehabilitation department due to the restructuring of the hospital, and it was reported that the school was closed due to management difficulties.

An official from the Gyeonggi-do Office of Education said, "Students with brain lesions have to be treated in a timely manner, but it is difficult to go back and forth between schools and hospitals."

"We are currently looking for other hospitals in the province that can accommodate severely disabled students," he said.

In the meantime, Hwaseong Hospital School is closed and Paju City Nursing Hospital is operating in the province for students with intermediate disabilities.

Opened in March this year, five students attend this school.
