Going to school in the Australian Outback.
The places in Australia that are very
far away from the city are called The
Australian
Outback. In the Australian Outback, children don't walk to school. They don't even take the bus or the train. This is because the school is
more than 300 kilometres away.
So how do these children get an
education? The answer is simple. These children don't go to school at all! They have lessons on their home computer and speak to their teachers through a web camera.
Children in the Australian Outback are very good students. Maybe this is because it is easier to study away from the
hustle and
bustle of a big city or maybe computer lessons are more
fun than normal lessons.
Whatever the
reasons, children in the Australian Outback
seem to enjoy "school" more than many other children in the world.
