As far as I know it *is* being implemented - with much success. There
seems to be a delay in reporting on how things are going - usual issue,
people good at doing things are not necessarily the best at advertizing
them...<br>
<br>
I've been pushing a bit for already a year on getting someone to report
in detail about RIVER. I do have a nice French-made documentary
somewhere, will see if I can find it and somehow get it to y'all, but
cannot promise.<br>

It would really change the face of Indian education if what has been
proposed on the web site can be really implemented.<br>

<div>Great stuff! Thanks for the link, Sabbu. I need more time to
explore this, but it looks very much like the old frontier one-room
schools in the USA.
<div>Actually, there are still a lot of them in places like rural
Montana. A lot of great people came out of this type of school with
wonderful educations, so </div>
<div>we know it can work. I wonder how the XO and Sugar could best
be integrated into this.</div>
