We all know that when you are young you go to school, in fact, many young people spend more time in school than they do anywhere else. Seven hours a day, five days a week are spent sitting at a desk listening to teachers and trying to learn things that might be useful later on in life - but then again, maybe not! But what happens if you live in a really remote place, somewhere far away from the nearest school? a ...

In this article we will look at three situations and the novel solutions that arc being used to try and ensure that the kids who live in these places get the same education as anyone else.

Remote schools

A Scottish island

Imagine living on a small island with a total population of only thirty people, and just eight of those arc children aged between six months and fourteen years old. В ... Well, this kind of situation is not uncommon on the small islands off the west coast of Scotland. For the children at primary level - up to the age of 11 - there is a small local school, usually with one teacher. But for the older children the only option is to go to one of the bigger islands or the mainland. The problem is that when the sea gets rough ittasks impossible to cross using the ferry. Another possibility is to fly. but even this can be a problem in bad weather.

C... Students can now watch the lessons live on the Internet or record them and watch them later.

An Indonesian answer

In some countries, even though the problems arc the same the answers are not as easy, because of lack of money. For instance, in countries like Indonesia, with a population of over 238 million living on more than 6000 islands, using the Internet or taking the children to school would be too expensive. D ... and parents are worried about the safety of their children. The solution - unlike in countries like Scotland - is to take the school to the children.

E ... Each school has one teacher, but often other people volunteer to go and teach there. The results have been amazing and the government is spending as much money as it can on providing education for the young people of the country. It’s good to see that everyone realizes just how important a good education is for a childtasks future
