9. School in a boat, Bangladesh

 

Twice a year, Bangladesh is experiencing floods, during which millions of residents remain cut off from large land, electricity and basic necessities. Naturally, it is impossible for children to attend school. To deal with the problems caused by annual floods, non-profit organization Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha came up with a brilliant solution – floating houses, medical centers, and schools.

The organization has opened about 100 boat schools, each of which receives the necessary energy from solar panels, is equipped with a laptop, Internet access and a small library. At the same time, the school itself takes children from home in the mornings and takes them home after school, like a school bus. Since the opening of such schools in 2002, 70,000 children have already been educated in them.

7. Abo Elementary School, USA

Elementary School Abo is proud to be the first land school in the United States. In the midst of the Cold War, when the United States was close to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, President John F. Kennedy promised to create public and private structures that could serve as nuclear shelters. The authorities of the city of Artesia in New Mexico decided to build an underground school that could also function as a shelter in the event of a nuclear strike. The school is completely underground, and a children’s playground is built on its roof. The school has three different entrances, each of which is protected by the 800-kilogram steel door. Behind the door is a room with a decontamination shower. The school was reportedly able to withstand radiation and withstand a 20-megaton explosion. At one time, it also had a morgue, an autonomous generator with a fuel supply, an autonomous ventilation system and supplies of food and medicine. Despite all this, many students who attended school had no idea that they were studying in the bomb shelter. The Abo School was closed in 1995 due to an increase in maintenance costs.
