The first hospital school in Chukotka has opened in Anadyr. The new site of the Uch imZnayem project is the 75th in its network across Russia.
The school is based in the children’s pulmonary tuberculosis unit at the Chukotka District Hospital. Two classrooms have been equipped for children receiving long-term treatment. Lessons will take account of each child’s health, medical advice and individual needs. Students attended a robotics class on opening day.
Teachers will focus on sustaining children’s motivation to learn and their interest in new subjects, while helping them maintain a familiar school routine. The educational programme will be coordinated with medical staff and students’ families.
