Most Dangerous Path To School
Here is the collection of most dangerous paths to school.Everyday, these young kids walk along a precarious path carved by the
side of a cliff, as they make their way to class in Bijie, in southwest
China's Guizhou Province.
In
Sumatra, Indonesia, about 20 strong-willed pupils from Batu Busuk
village have to tightrope walk 30 feet above a flowing rive.
In
another Indonesian village of Sanghiang Tanjung, children living on the
wrong side of the Ciberang River has to cross a broken suspension
bridge
In
yet another Indonesian village, children cycle their way over an
aqueduct that separates Suro Village and Plempungan Village in Java,
Indonesia.
In
Filipino, elementary school students use an inflated tire tube to cross
a river on their way to school in a remote village in Rizal province,
east of the capital Manila.
The
Filipino kids at least have tubes. These Vietnamese students aren’t so
fortunate at Trong Hoa commune,
Minh Hoa district.
Gondola
bridges are common in the mountainous country of Nepal where good roads
are in short demand.
In
Columbia, kids from a handful of families living in the rainforest, 40
miles southeast of the capital Bogota, commute via steel cables that
connect one side of the valley to the other.
Back
in China,the children must also wade through four freezing rivers,
cross a 650ft chain bridge and four single-plank bridges. The journey
takes two days to complete.
a girl is seen calmly walking
towards her school unconcerned by the violence around her the photo is captured by Reuter photographer Ammar Awad
in 2010.
These
pictures puts into a different perspective the whining complains of
students about “having to go to school,” not bringing pencils or paper,
and not making it to class on time. Ed Darrell, who blogs at Millard Fillmore's Bathtub,
questioned: What value does this girl and her family place on
education? Is education a civil right? Is education a basic human right?
