Floating classrooms
In some parts of the world, children go to
rather unusual schools. In Bangladesh, for
example, heavy rain often leads to flooding
in many parts of the country. These floods
can stop children getting to school.
A solution to this problem came from a
man called Mohammed Rezwan. In 2002,
he began a project to build a school boat. It
was so successful that there are now ninety
school boats. These travel along the rivers
of north-west Bangladesh and give
thousands of children the chance to have a
primary school education.
For six days each week, every boat goes to
a different village along the river and
collects children of the same age. When the
boat’s classroom has about thirty to thirtyfive students and is full, they begin lessons.
Students have a three-hour class and must
study: maths, reading, writing, Bengali*
and English. They also learn about the
environment and how to take care of it.
After class, the boat takes them home and
then collects another group of students.
Each day, each boat gives three sets of
three-hour lessons. That means the ‘boat
schools’ provide about 270 lessons a day.
While each boat has a classroom and a
library, modern technology is also
available. Every boat has solar panels on its
roof to collect energy from the sun and
produces enough electricity to run a few
computers, a printer and also a DVD and
CD player. Wireless technology now makes
it possible for the boats to connect to the
internet, too. So, primary education is
connected and on the move!
