Huang Jui-mao gives the example of the schools that have been closed all over the countryside because of population loss.

If they could be turned into ecological classrooms that nearby schools can collectively support, the originally abandoned schools would have new lives.
黃瑞茂以人口外流等因素造成鄉野四處封閉的學校為例，位居偏僻地點的廢棄校舍大多有相當豐厚的自然風光與資源，如果能改為生態教育教室，由附近的幾座學校共同認養，那原本廢棄的學校，不但可以再生，更可以成為九年一貫教育的新典範。
