FONSECA, Eneida Simões da. Schooling and disease. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2020, vol.45, e40211.  Epub Aug 23, 2023. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644440211.

This reflective study visits references that deal with the reality of schooling offered to sick pupils. The impressions one can have when considering teaching in the hospital or home school environment are discussed. The official documents related to this type of educational provision are considered and problematized as well as the possible contributions that the national meetings, half-yearly newsletters, research and studies and organizations that are focused on this part of the population can bring to this field in particular. The considerations point out that studies and researches, certainly contribute to the formalization of events for the dissemination of the findings of this specific field of knowledge, to the improvement of the training of teachers who work with this group, as well as may be providing subsidies for the elaboration of public policies and legal support that adequately contemplate this specific type of teaching. However, it stresses that the failure to observe the tenuous relationship between theory and practice can only lead to the dissemination of results in scientific events that may not be necessarily applied in the daily school routine of the sick ones.

Keywords : Hospital Schooling; Legislation; Child disease.
