The School That Flies by Mechai Viravaidya

Mechai Viravaidya hopes to lead a "happy revolution" in the Thai schooling system by introducing life-long learning centres in the form of free, private education. Students at his free schools improve their practical knowledge through a range of learning institutions, including the "Barefoot MBA" centre, a school bank, and rice and water academies. Viravaidya hopes that within three years, no Thai families that have children at these schools will be in poverty.
