Unconventional schools defy educational protocols
Unconventional schooling models including classrooms with no teachers or walls are defying the conventions of education, the World Government Summit was told yesterday.
A Bali school founded by Canadian entrepreneurs John and Cynthia Hardy are conducting lessons in classrooms made entirely of bamboo, utilizing the impact of nature and environment in the students’ education. “Green School is like no other. It has no walls, and the children are happy.
This provides an incredible environment for growth,” John Hardy said, adding how “giving children freedom from boundaries teaches them to solve problems and think critically in ways we had never imagined possible.” Another school with an unconventional model is Ecole 42 in Paris, where students work in “a building with no supervision.”
