PRACTICAL SCHOOL
There is a great need for practical education that allows students who are practically oriented to work in their city or region after six months ( or sometimes longer ) of training. In addition, with some guidance, they can also start their own business with which they can build an existence. These are pupils who have acquired the basic skills of reading and arithmetic but are unable to follow a multi-year higher or theoretical education. Practical education matches the needs and opportunities indicated from entrepreneurs and businesses in a city or region. Think of masons, construction workers, plumbers,caretakers, gardening, cook, carpenter etc. The knowledge is transferred by experienced teachers from the field . Students receive a certificate recognized by the government. The training is low-threshold with the required knowledge and materials coming from the proceeds of crowdfunding and the Khan foundation. The idea is that the students contribute with which the teachers can be paid. Examples of this practical education include the so-called COSDECs in Namibia.
