Schools around the World

A school is a place where students learn from the teachers and from each other as well! A school can be in a room or any kind of building. It can even be in the open air. Schools are not the same in all countries. Let's take a look in different types of schools in different countries.

Olivia is English. She's twelve years old. "I have my lessons in the big classroom. It's on the ground floor. There are pictures and paintings on the walls of my classroom. There's a playground with slides and swings just next to the door of our classroom. If the weather is nice, we like playing outside during the breaks."

Qing is Chinese. He's fourteen years old and he's from Beijing, China. "This is my classroom and this is our English lesson. Yes! This is our lesson but you can't see any students in the classroom. There's only our teacher Mr Zhang in the room. He's teaching us using the internet, it's like a broadcast. Due to the high air pollution we sometimes stay at home and then we have lessons through the internet. It's amazing!"

Madhavi is from Hunduz, in Afghanistan. She's twelve years old and she attends the school in the village that is some kilometres far from her house. "My school starts early because during the day time it's very hot. There's no desks or chairs in my classroom and there's one large carpet for sitting. Oh, yes. There aren't any boys in my class, too."
