  Film Australia
  Australia
Plumpton High School in Sydney is the only school in Australia that accepts pregnant students. More than 100 students have graduated from the school, and now 13 are studying there. This program shows teachers’ efforts to encourage the students not to give up studying and also shows various problems pregnant girls face and ways of dealing with such problems.
School of the Highlands
  Asian Council for People's Culture (ACPC)
  Philippines
In Philippines, there are more than 300 minority ethnic groups living in highlands. Since school is far, education for children is the biggest problem for those people. Since several years ago, there has been a movement to build up a school by themselves and to teach children how to read and write and ethnic cultures. This program shows people trying very hard to cooperate to convey their endangered tradition and ethnic dignity to the next generation.
