BALI SCHOOL LETS STUDENTS PAY TUITION IN COCONUTS

A school on the island of Bali is allowing its students to pay for their degrees in coconuts due to the financial hardships inflicted by COVID-19. The Venus One Tourism Academy, which teaches courses in tourism hospitality, used to accept money, and they still do. But the academy’s director, Wayan Pasek Adi Putra, says that because of the COVID pandemic, they have adapted a flexible policy. The school makes virgin coconut oil, so students can pay their tuition by bringing coconuts. The school also allows students to pay for classes with moringa leaves and gotu kola leaves which are used to produce herbal soap products that can be sold to raise money for the academy.
* That’s the first time I’ve heard of a college making a virgin anything.
* If you run a farm in Bali that grows coconuts, moringa, or gotu, it’s time to get some Doberman Pinschers.
* If you can’t get coconuts, will they accept Mounds candy bars?
* Next semester, tuition is going up to 18 coconuts and 15 sand dollars, to sell in the gift shop.
