Barefoot Education — Hanako Iwatsuki
I was impressed with the method in the video. Students need to remember only transistor names, they do not need literacy. It enable poor people who cannot access to education to learn professional skills such as engineering, and get their own jobs.
At first, I thought people have to have a literacy to access to education, so this method is innovative for me.
In my opinion, to make a positive difference, expanding the opportunity to go to the school like a bearfoot college is an important.
I agree with your opinion. I was also surprised that students don’t need to be literate to learn technical skills

DeleteThey had their own established study methods, and I thought it was wonderful to see the students working on them.
ReplyDeleteI hope this method expand worldwide! I will contribute to reduce the poverty.
DeleteI totally agree with you that the Barefoot College is amazing because for me it seems they give another opportunity to people who would like to study but they don’t have much choices in their lives to study.
ReplyDeleteGiving opportunities to people who want to study is one of the most valuable things. This method contribute to it.

ReplyDeleteYes, that is why I chose this topic. I hope it contribute to reducing the poverty.

ReplyDeleteI also focused on Barefoot College in my blog, but it's interesting because we have different perspectives. I was surprised that students at Barefoot College don't need literacy, too.
