Unusual schools are special learning places built for specific needs. They may look different, but they all help children get education. Let's guess: Why would people build such schools? Unusual School 1: Boat School Location: Bangladesh Background: Many rivers and frequent floods. Problem: Children can't go to regular schools when it floods. Solution: Boat schools sail to villages during floods. 'With the boat school, children have a chance to learn even when there are floods.' Unusual School 2: Bottle School Location: Philippines/Guatemala Background: Many plastic bottles polluting the environment. Problem: Need cheap and eco-friendly school buildings. Solution: Build schools with recycled plastic bottles! 'This is very cheap and good for the environment.' Unusual School 3: Train Station School Location: India Background: Many poor children live near train stations. Problem: They need a convenient and free place to learn. Solution: Schools set up inside train stations with volunteer teachers.
