Going to school on Wheels (How some children go to school in India-West Bengal
Haider goes to school in his wheelchair. Every morning, Haider's friends arrive at his house 30 minutes before school begins. Deciding who gets to push Haider today, they tip the wheelchair back onto its two big black wheels and are off! Haider lives one kilometre away from Raspunja Free Primary School. One kilometre was a long way for Haider, when he didn't have wheels. In fact, one kilometre was so far that Haider didn't go to school until he was given a wheelchair. Now he wheels wherever the boys take him, and they take him everywhere. Going to School in India Series is based on the book by Lisa Heydlauff.

Going to School in a Mud Desert (How Some Children Go To School in India-Gujarati) Every year, the monsoons turn the desert into a sea. When the rain stops, the water slowly sinks into the ground, leaving salt behind. Saltpan workers and their families move into the desert to make salt. They build houses and install pumps to bring salty water from under the ground into surface basins; water that will crystallize into six-sided salt cubes. Children move into the desert with their families and while their families work, they go to school. Ramash, a 12-year-old boy takes us to his desert classroom where water must be delivered by truck and students must mark their trails to avoid getting lost by oases. Children go to school to learn to read so they can visit other villages. 


Going to School in a Tribe (How Some Children Go To School in India-Orissa) Meet Sagarita, a 10-yr-old girl of the Saura tribe as she attends school in her village of Tarasinghi on the hills. At school she learns how to count with sticks, make abacuses out of mud, and use blocks with Oriya letters. All the tribal children know how to use a bow and an arrow, so even at school they learn to identify letters by throwing an arrow on the correct letter on a string. Some days they go on nature walks, go door to door doing village surveys, or even run a pretend market.
