It’s familiar. You’re looking for something specific and discover something completely unexpected along the way.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, I was searching the internet for data and stories that could help shed light on CICED’s slogan ‘better education – better lives’.<\/p>\n

Among many headlines in the search, one in particular caught my attention: ‘The most dangerous ways to school’<\/em><\/p>\n

A documentary series about what children – and their parents – brave to get to school. School and education are a source of hope for a better life.<\/p>\n

Among the most dangerous roads is the school road in the Mongolian winter.<\/p>\n

The documentary is a beautiful reminder of why we support improving conditions at rural Mongolian boarding schools. Nomadic children who live more than a few kilometers from school simply can’t walk or ride for hours on end in 30 degree cold.<\/p>\n

Right now, schools are corona-closed, but once the virus is safely under control, thousands of children across Mongolia will once again be accommodated in rural schools.<\/p>\n

It’s not always fun, and in many places schools are still suffering from the collapse of the 1990s. <\/p>\n

CICED’s project ‘Better School Start – Better School Life’<\/a>focuses on better pedagogy, more leisure opportunities, better care, close-to-family-like environment, among other things.<\/p>\n

We look forward to telling you more when the project wakes up from its corona sleep.<\/p>\n

The Mongolian part of the documentary series can be viewed here<\/a><\/p>\n

And if you want more dangerous ways to school, there are a frightening number of examples on youtube.com search for<\/a>‘The most dangerous ways to school’<\/p>\n

If you have the time and inclination to challenge your English and learn more about the history of Mongolian rural boarding schools, I highly recommend the article Non-traveling‘Best Practices’ for a Traveling Population: the case of nomadic education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to read the whole article, start with the section on p. 26 under the heading ‘Nomadic Education in the People’s Republic: historical background’<\/p>\n

Enjoy watching and reading.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
