Discussion: METI School in Rudrapur, Bangladesh – Analogue Construction Using Local Resources
In Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, few children enjoy a normal school education. In December 2005, a new school was opened in Rudrapur, a village with only 1,500 inhabitants in the north-west of the country. The teaching, comparable to the Montessori system, provides all-round education with individual support for pupils. The school building, with a floor area of roughly 325 m², was realized in a collaboration between the Modern Educational Training Institute (METI), the non-government organization Dipshikka and two German aid organizations.
