LEADIN An exclusive school in Indonesia has thrown out textbooks in favour of teaching science and technology through practical experiments in harmony with nature. The school only admits twelve students into each class in the hope that the pupils will excel in the two disciplines and succeed in the global market. STORYLINE This classroom in Depok, in Indonesia's West Java province, is very different from most in the country. The pupils here are working on a science project in the school yard - but there's not a text book in sight. Techno Natura school was launched in 2004 as an alternative school for students of parents who are unhappy with the national teaching curriculum. As it's name suggests, Techno Natura teaches science and technology that is in harmony with nature. The school only admits 12 students per class from Grade 1 to 12. In the past 6 years it's produced just over 120 graduates. Each student will pick his or her project and work in a small team with fellow students.
