China’s cave-school
In Ziyun county, China’s Southwest province of Guizhou, Children attend class at the Dongzhong (literally meaning “middle of hole”) primary school at a Miao village. Possibly, it’s a new technique to improve the children’s learning? Nonetheless, it’s a cool experience for any primary school student!
The school is built in a huge, aircraft hanger-sized natural cave, carved out of a mountain over thousands of years by wind, water and seismic shifts. - Reuters
It’s a great idea for saving construction cost, but is it safe? As Reuters have said, the cave was made from seismic shifts meaning earthquakes. Lighting seems to be an issue too, it looks like their teaching in the dark.
Then again, a cave-school is better than no-school, but detention will definitely be more scary now! The basketball court looks great, the kids look happy and their getting great exercise, that’s all that matters right?
