25 Of The Most Dangerous And Unusual Journeys To School In The World

ADVERTISEMENT

The school year start may be a delight (or dismay) to millions of kids around the globe. However, it’s important not to forget that, in some parts of the world, even an elementary school education can be a hard-won luxury. Some of the children have to take the most dangerous roads in the world to receive the education that some of us may take for granted. If school way might seem boring to kids in wealthier countries, these little ones are surely glad to have a chance at a better future. This list we collected will show you just how determined some children can be when it comes to getting an education; especially with the dangerous journeys and long ways home after school they have to endure.

According to UNESCO, progress in connecting children to schools in third world countries has slowed down over the past couple of years. Areas that lack suitable school routes can often flood, making it even harder for kids to commute. Dangerous paths and the obstacles on the way to school are one of the main reasons why many children decide to quit education.

The solution might seem straightforward: build roads and bridges, buy buses and hire a driver. However, the lack of funds and recurring natural disasters in many countries make it difficult to provide children with the solutions they so desperately need.

While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

    Nice Article. But the photo "School Girls Walking Across A Plank On The Wall Of The 16th Century Galle Fort In Sri Lanka" seem to be taken while on a school trip. Galle Fort is a popular tourist destination. Not a remote or rural area. Again nice article. Love from Sri Lanka. Hope you would visit our beautiful country someday. ❤️.

    I want to tell some thing about the photo that taken in Sri Lanka. Actually that heading mislead the story. That old fort situated in the busy city Galle , not a risky or dangerous place to people and there are many roads , offices , schools and private residences are located inside the fort. And also , the fort is a famous tourist destination for locals and foreigners. This photo seems some school girls with their teacher , walking on the rampart (not risky or dangerous at all) and crossing a 'cut' safely.

    I want to tell some thing about the photo that taken in Sri Lanka. Actually that heading mislead the story. That old fort situated in the busy city Galle , not a risky or dangerous place to people and there are many roads , offices , schools and private residences are located inside the fort. And also , the fort is a famous tourist destination for locals and foreigners. This photo seems some school girls with their teacher , walking on the rampart (not risky or dangerous at all) and crossing a 'cut' safely.
