Who says ‘Living in caves’ was outdated? The phrase that suggests that you are not in sync with the times, took a new meaning when a cave was literally transformed into a school.

Mid-Cave Primary School is aptly named so because it lies in between two caves is situated in a poverty-stricken village in Ghinzou province, Southwest China. The people found an innovative way to make the best use of nature’s resources when they lacked funds to build a school for children. They turned one of the three caves nestled on a mountain into a school so that their kids are not denied the basic education.

The kids have to spend over six hours trekking up and down the hills in order to quench their thirst for knowledge. Could there be a better example of ‘Practical Environmental Sciences’?
