"It's not like the bell rings and our duties end." What it's like in a school where children from the ghetto and rich families study

Juraj Hipš has been running the Alma Model Innovative School project in Zvolen, Slovakia, for the second year. Its main goal is desegregation, meaning that children from the ghetto, as well as those from middle-class or wealthy families, can study in the same class for free. “Top-notch education without compassion, empathy and humanity is useless to a person, because they will never understand the needs of society,” he explains in an interview.
