SCHOOL FOR HANDICAPPED
A 10-classroom school for physically handicapped children
will soon be opened in Kwai Fong Estate as part of the Education Department's
second five-year development plan for expanding special education for
the handicapped.
The school will occupy the ground and first floors of the newly-
completed school building in the estate and will be operated by the
Spastics Association of Hong Kong.
It will provide whole day special education facilities for
200 physically handicapped children. Two special rooms and one physiotherapy
room will be included.
The remaining four storeys of the estate school will be converted
into 18 classrooms to provide bi-sessionalism education for 1,620 ordinary
primary school students. This school will be operated by Sheng Kung Hui.
Both schools are being built by the government and will be
fully subsidised.
Tenders are being invited for the construction of an extension
to the ground floor and related conversion work to the upper floors of the
school building.
Work is expected to start in October this year and should take
about four months to complete.
