UNICEF: Creating child-friendly learning in Turkmenistan

KUNYA URGENCH, Turkmenistan, 27 December 2007 -- On the playground outside District School Number One, the boys and girls line up alongside each other and prepare to play a game. Each group holds hands tightly, then sends a student from their ranks to 'break through' the other line.

It is a fitting exercise for a school that has begun breaking down some of the environmental barriers that threaten to interfere with education.

District School Number One is one of 20 schools across Turkmenistan taking part in a UNICEF-supported pilot programme designed to better equip schools so they can give children an improved learning experience.
