Anna Akter,a nine-year-old student at a floating school in Bangladesh’s remote Natore district,says she might have missed out on her education during annual floods without her boat-based classroom.The same goes for Khushi Khatun,who also studies at the boat school where she gets free tuition and materials.“Had there been no such schools,she would have had to walk two kilometers along a muddy path or take a boat journey,which may have discouraged her from studying,”said her father Nazir Uddin,a farmer in Pangasia village.
Hundreds of students in the northern Bangladesh district are taught in floating schools.“Instead of the students going to school,the school reaches them,”said Mohammed Rezwan,the founder of Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha,the non-profit organization that introduced the country’s first floating school system.The boats first serve as school buses,collecting children from different riverside stops.Once they have stopped,class begins.Rezwan’s organization now has 22 wooden boats,each able to hold 30 students.
Each year,much of the Bangladesh countryside is hit by flooding,forcing schools to close.In 2007,for example,some 1.5 million students were estimated to have been affected by floods.Around two thirds of the country’s 160 million people live in rural areas.The floating schools cover an area of 2 square km,offering primary-level education to local children who might otherwise have stayed away from
school.Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha now also trains adult villagers in children’s and women’s rights,nutrition and health,and how to farm ducks and fish in“floating gardens”,helping them adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Some other countries,including Cambodia,Nigeria,the Philippines,Vietnam and Zambia,have introduced floating schools,following Rezwan’s model.

语篇解读:文章讲述了在孟加拉国遭受洪灾的地区,由于洪水的袭击,许多孩子没法上学。因此就催生了这种船上学校的诞生:船去接孩子,并且为孩子们提供免费的教育。 答案及剖析:
