6 Most Dangerous Ways Kids Get To School

Education is important and many children have to go through dangerous ways, paths and routes to arrive at their school, which is situated at very unusual and dangerous locations.

Find us on...

Education is a wonderfully important thing for a child, but sometimes the commute is a real killer. Coming up… Narrow mountain paths, broken bridges. Join us as we explore some of the most dangerous ways to get to school.

Gulu
A dedicated teacher can make all the difference in a child’s life, but it’s helpful if the kids can actually get to the classroom. In a remote village in Gulu, China, there’s an elementary school that is straight out of a storybook. Shen Qijun is a dedicated and influential teacher and a real pillar of the small community, and his lessons are useful and important in shaping a student’s life.

China
Safe and secure schooling is important for youngsters and can help paint a brighter future, but what if you had to break out of a fortress each time you wanted to attend class? In the Badagong mountains in Southern China children have to learn to climb, before they can learn math or science.

Himalayas
The upside of a boarding school, especially if it’s on this list, is that you only have to make the journey a couple of times each year, rather than every day. Cutting its way through the bottom of a gorge is the Zanskar River, in the Indian Himalayas.

Indonesia
Disaster can strike anywhere, but if you care enough, you might still find a way to get to school. A group of children in Western Indonesia garnered some world fame after a photo of them crossing a bridge went viral.

I mean, having a bridge seems like a better option than… say, not having a bridge. About fifty miles away from the success story of this crossing is another tale told of daring kids risking it all for school.

Rope
The adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” can apply to a lot of makeshift methods for getting through the day to day, but it can make for some pretty sketchy solutions. In southeast Columbia, the roaring Rio Negro is a giant river that separates a small village from the capital of Bogota.

Pili China
Walking to school can be good for your health, but it can also be potentially, well, disastrous. In Pili Village, China, eighty children are eligible to go to school, and their parents are supportive, possibly beyond reason.

Free Documentary has the best, well organized real and original series of dangerous ways to school, this up here is not adding up

Go watch Most Dangerous ways to school, the episodes are about 45 min long but they are amazingly done. The children I have utmost respect for, they are going above and beyond for education

[welldatu]

I push the bottom "like" in the sense these families consider education a big concern inspite of difficulties. I really admire those families and children who take the risk just to take the risk going to be educated. Education is a must be a priority in every country. A Philippines saying "kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan". Young generation is the future. But please do not forget to show them respect, respect to other persons, especially respect to parents and senior citizens

This is really sad. I didn't know about any of this. It really makes you realize how much you take for granted in the Western world..

I would rather watch the " Most dangerous ways to school" compilations on youtube...this one has been plagiarized. Next time do a motion picture documentary. Period!

[srivanimpelen]

WOW...Deep respect for the children !!!

[DJDoubleCee]

Like most kids in America, all I had to do to get to school was hop on a yellow bus and I’d be there in ten minutes at the most. These kids are literally risking their lives and going through extremely tough obstacles just to get school. After seeing this video, I definitely wish I would have taken my education more seriously when I was that age.

Many of the pictures and video clips are NOT from the sites you're describing. This adds more confusion rather than understanding. Do some proper research and use the real pictures and clips and not the random ones.
