Going to School on a Mountain Top

This programme follows Skarma who goes to school high in the mountains on the Tibet border.

Skarma and his classmates are learning about their world and playing hide-and-seek in the bright, cold sunlight. Their school is nestled right in the mountains, meaning they must climb up to it every day.

There is no electricity in their village, but in the summer months this does not matter as school moves outside where there is plenty of light.

This series, produced by former British teacher Lisa Heydlauff, reveals how important education is to children and families in India.
