1. 0:01Can you imagine studying in a cave for 6
2. 0:03hours daily? While some children
3. 0:05complain about walking a few streets to
4. 0:07school, other students around the world
5. 0:09live educational experiences that seem
6. 0:11straight out of a science fiction movie.
7. 0:13As some educational institutions break
8. 0:15all traditional patterns, get ready to
9. 0:17discover the five most extraordinary
10. 0:19schools on the planet, where education
11. 0:21knows no limits, and each school day is
12. 0:23a unique adventure. Let's begin.
13. 0:30Floating school in Cambodia.
14. 0:33The next no less exotic building is an
15. 0:35educational institution located on
16. 0:37water. However, in this region, this
17. 0:39phenomenon doesn't surprise anyone as
18. 0:41houses, shops, and other buildings
19. 0:43literally float here. This is about the
20. 0:45floating village Kong Luang, which is
21. 0:47located on Lake Tonlas in Cambodia. The
22. 0:50school has about 60 students, 40 of whom
23. 0:52are orphans, whose parents died during
24. 0:54fishing. In the educational institution,
25. 0:56there is only one large classroom where
26. 0:58children study and spend their free
27. 1:00time. Children go to school swimming in
28. 1:02special containers that look like boats.
29. 1:11Teraset Underground School. Despite all
30. 1:15the fantastic nature of this project,
31. 1:17Teraset School is indeed located
32. 1:19underground in the city of Reston,
33. 1:21Virginia. This educational institution
34. 1:23is over 40 years old and was built in
35. 1:25the 1970s, a period when America
36. 1:27suffered an energy crisis and city
37. 1:29authorities couldn't think of anything
38. 1:31more economical than building a school
39. 1:33that would heat itself. For this
40. 1:35purpose, they removed an earthn hill,
41. 1:37built the building, and covered it again
42. 1:39with earth, providing not only for the
43. 1:40school to heat itself, but also a
44. 1:42cooling system.
45. 1:51Cave schools in China.
46. 1:55China never ceases to amaze us with
47. 1:57economic miracles. One of the premises
48. 1:59of this phenomenon can rightfully be
49. 2:01considered these people's thirst for
50. 2:02knowledge. Proof of this is the unique
51. 2:04school in Guijou Province. The Meow
52. 2:07ethnicity indigenous population of this
53. 2:09region lives quite modestly. The low
54. 2:11standard of living didn't allow these
55. 2:13people for a long time to obtain
56. 2:14education and only in 1984 was the first
57. 2:17school opened. Since there were no funds
58. 2:19for school construction, it was decided
59. 2:21to locate the educational institution in
60. 2:23the nearest cave. Here, classrooms, a
61. 2:26sports field, and a rest area were
62. 2:28equipped. Initially, the school was
63. 2:30designed for one class. However, today
64. 2:32its students are 186 children. And this
65. 2:35despite the fact that students have to
66. 2:36travel 6 hours each day to get to
67. 2:39school.
68. 2:45Canin Nomadic School. The children who
69. 2:48study in this school have had incredible
70. 2:50luck. And it's not because they have a
71. 2:52modern educational institution, but
72. 2:54because they have the opportunity to
73. 2:56live with their parents and receive
74. 2:58classical school education. Until
75. 3:00recently, children from nomadic tribes
76. 3:02in Russia's northern regions were forced
77. 3:04to either study and live in boarding
78. 3:05schools for months without seeing their
79. 3:07relatives or not receive education at
80. 3:09all. The nomadic school can rightfully
81. 3:11be called the smallest school in terms
82. 3:13of number of students and staff. Such an
83. 3:15educational institution has six to eight
84. 3:17students where two or three teachers
85. 3:19work. However, this doesn't prevent the
86. 3:21children from obtaining the same
87. 3:22knowledge, skills, and abilities as
88. 3:25their sedentary peers. The nomadic
89. 3:27school is equipped with satellite
90. 3:28internet which allows communication with
91. 3:30the outside world.
92. 3:37Orestad open school in Copenhagen.
93. 3:41This school can truly be considered a
94. 3:43work of modern architectural art. And
95. 3:45not only the building but also the
96. 3:47character of teaching here differs from
97. 3:48the classical school. In the premises of
98. 3:51this educational institution, there are
99. 3:53practically no internal partitions, and
100. 3:55there are no classrooms in their usual
101. 3:57concept. The heart of the school is a
102. 3:59huge spiral staircase that connects the
103. 4:01four floors of the building. Throughout
104. 4:03the school, there are soft sofas and
105. 4:05ottomans where students rest and do
106. 4:07their homework.
