strangely unique schools

India is home to nearly half a billion children, many of whom live in extreme poverty and unfortunately, many of them dont have access to an education. A schoolteacher, Inderjit Khurana, who took the train on a daily basis to work, knew these children couldnt afford school and without education they would not be able to elevate themselves out of poverty. So she decided to take the school to these children and thus was born the train platform school, with the formation of the Ruchika Social Service Organization in 1985. Inderjit passed away on October 26, 2010, but the organization she left as her legacy continues to work toward educating children through these schools.

Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world and for that reason has limited natural resources and is now strongly impacted by climate change, which makes it difficult for the people to help their communities.

So instead of buildings they have converted boats into schools, libraries, and healthcare and training centers for the isolated waterside communities.

This is literally a school like no other one that offers professional instruction in how to sell your body. For about a U100 ($112) fee, pupils at Trabajo Ya, which means Work Now, in Valencia, Spain, are offered a basic course in professional prostitution with maximum discretion. However, Spains first prostitution school still faces legal challenges from campaigners seeking to close it amid growing public concern.

For opportunities beyond the local country club, the more generalized B.S. in Turfgrass Science prepares students for careers in professional lawn care, sod production, athletic field maintenance, and beyond. Though the degree may sound like a walk in the park, courses lean toward the science side of the equation (biology, chemistry, and meteorology are required courses).
