As part of school education, labour education plays an important role in our lives. Here are some ideas about labour education in different countries.
Our labour education starts at an early age. At the beginning of Grade 7, we have labour classes. As a middle school student, now I can cook dishes for my family. I have a sense of achievement.

We don’t have labour lessons. Instead, we do volunteer work after school. We organise books in the library or clean up the city parks. By doing them, we learn the importance of teamwork and feel the happiness of labour. —LooLin, Singapore
We have four kinds of labour classes. Teachers give us lessons in different classrooms. We can learn useful skills in a real environment. When we are working, we develop our skills and habits of labour. —Bach, Germany
Our labour classes are special. Teachers take us to hear, see and feel in nature(自然). We grow many kinds of plants and feed small animals around our school. Labour is of great value. We have realised the meaning of labour.
—Irina, Russia

In Los Angeles, US, there is a special school named Sotomayor Arts and Sciences Magnet. Students there don’t just learn about farming. They become farmers!
The school has a three-acre(英亩) farm. On the farm, students take care of animals like chickens and pigs. The school also has a modern greenhouse. Students learn to grow plants, water the plants and monitor the temperature there. This greenhouse is filled with different kinds of young plants now. It’s really interesting, right?

Nathan Perez is a student at the school. He enjoys working on the farm. “Being with animals just makes me feel good. I like being outside instead of staying in the classroom all the time,” he says.
Reies Flores is a teacher at the school. He speaks highly of the farm and the greenhouse. He says, “Farming helps students learn some important abilities in life. At the same time, students can learn it’s difficult to make food and put food on the table. So they can learn to value food more.”
What an amazing school!
