Deaf school - Rougakko

Japanese: 聾学校 - ろうがっこう

A school that provides deaf and severely hearing-impaired children with an education equivalent to that of kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school, and also aims to impart knowledge and skills necessary for the lives of deaf people. After World War II, elementary and junior high school education became compulsory under the School Education Act, and prefectures are responsible for establishing such schools. The first was established in Paris by Epee in 1760. In Japan, it began as Kyoto Moua-in, founded by Furukawa Taishiro in 1878, and later differentiated into a school for the blind. Teaching is done using oral language, sign language, etc. After World War II, oral language was the main method, but now total communication methods that incorporate sign language and other methods have become dominant. With the revision of the School Education Act in 2007, blind schools, deaf schools, and special needs schools became special needs schools that transcend the types of disabilities.

Japanese:

聾児や高度の難聴児に対して幼稚園，小・中・高等学校に準ずる教育を施し，あわせて聾者の生活に必要な知識技能を授けることを目的とする学校。第２次大戦後，学校教育法で小・中学段階は義務化され，その設置は都道府県の義務。1760年エペーによりパリに設立されたものが最初。日本では古川太四郎が1878年設立した京都盲唖(もうあ)院に始まり，のち盲学校と分化。口話法，手話などにより教える。第２次大戦後は口話法が中心であったが，今では手話その他の手段をも動員したトータル・コミュニケーション法が優勢となってきた。2007年学校教育法の改正により，盲学校・聾学校・養護学校は障害種別を超えた特別支援学校となった。
