A 7-year-old boy is the only child in his school 

No bullying. No peer pressure. Full attention from a teacher. Sounds like a great way to be educated.

Hes at the top of his class.

This is beautiful. His village literally cares so much about that one child citizen that they are paying for him to have a private tutor and the school building experience.

Bless that village and dedicated school teacher, really caring for the children of their own. How lovely the boy beamed when he spoke of his teacher knowing the answers to his questions.

This boy is living my introverted dream when I was a kid. ❤😊

How sweet that the village cares that much for this one child. To put the welfare of the child first. In the U.S., we close schools when the student populations become "too small" 😢, meaning only a few hundred. They don't care about the welfare of the families and children.

What a beautiful child, I wish him all the best.

"Mahir is sick. School's closed for today." Would be nice to know _why_ he is the only school-aged kid around. Are families moving away? Is the town dying? People not having kids? Why? How big is the school? What's a normal class/school size? Not even the Who What Why When Where and How questions are answered.

Reminds me of another situation in China too. It is heartwarming to see dedicated teachers teaching one child and giving it their all. And for these villages not to shut down the school due to extremely low numbers.

This kid gets the best attention, that’s for sure! He’ll never get left behind in a lesson because he can ask all the questions he needs to until he fully understands.

He became the class president with 100 percent approval rating!

It's refreshing to see a man teaching a child of that age. Men can be more than just athletic coaches. They can be kind, compassionate, intelligent, and encouraging mentors (teachers).

A patient teacher, a very beaugiful relationship!!!They will never forget each other!! Great love!!

Bless them both. One day, like any other place, this place will also have people and then this one student will most likely be a proud teacher for them.

Hes from Bosnia like me. Bless him.

He has probably become like a son to his teacher sweet story amazing dedication.

I was more than once in classes with 9 or even just 4 kids. And at the time I was in a children hospital I had a teacher just for me too, as they had no other children in my age at this time. And it´s incredible how much better you can learn and understand with just a few children in a class.

I wish to be that child, so lucky, he won't suffer from bullying. Congratulations for the teacher 👏👏👏👏

Wow...that's dedication to education at another level! I remember many years ago travelling across Costa Rica, where family and education are THE top priorities in the country we went on this lonely road up high in a remote mountainous region. The village near the top was teeny tiny and surrounded by the forest. Yet there was a school. And the few children in it were wearing their school uniforms, just like any other school. I was shocked. If these kids had to go to school in a larger place it would have taken hours to get there and back. So they brought the school to them. We should never underestimate the power of education even in the most remote of places.

I was the only 5th Grader at my school; a long time ago. It served me well as I had to know everything in the 5th grade books since I was the only one questions could be asked. I learned to study very well.

Love this and that the community opens up the school. This young boy will do great things!

What an adorable child, wish him the best 👍

This is wonderful to see this child being cared for. I hope and pray that more children are soon in this area to have the same commitment.

At least he will not be bullied 😊

Wow! He's such a lucky boy. I live in a small poor central America country in which school is a privilege for few children. There are not enough public schools in rural areas. 😢

Introverts: *I see this as an absolute win*

I watch another video about some rural European town that actually offered land to immigrants because there town was so small. These families came with young children and the town was happy to help them all with schooling, getting acclimated to the new country, and fellowship. This is another beautiful example of the uniqueness of each person's life and how beautiful it is with other people by your side. ❤

I would have loved this! I was bullied in school so this would be a dream come true! Even if I only the only kid for miles it would be fine by me.

He will be smart and well taught because he is the only one. This looks perfect to me….not having to worry about other children and what they think or how they treat me. I would have loved to go to school like this. No distractions so you can focus more on learning.

Cool Mahir! Study well young man. Kidos to the dedicated Teacher Samir. Team Mahir & Samir...

That is a town/village that cares about their people that they opened the school & hired a teacher for their 1 student.

I was the only student in my college writing class. It was a great semester. I was amazed the college continued to pay the teacher and didn’t cancel the class. I ended up writing a short story with the help of my teacher. She thought it should be published. I just never did it. However, it is one of my fondest memories I keep dear to myself.

If there was another student it would have been perfect... that way he would have a pal. Must be lonely.

Beautiful humanity.

Very lucky boy to have one such amazing and patient teacher. We need to give all our children same attention. x

I used to teach in Hayakawa town in Japan back in 2018. I was the foreign English teacher, there was a Japanese English teacher and the homeroom teacher of ONE 5th grader in the school. So it was 1 student with 3 teachers during the English class.

This is beautiful for him to be able to school!!! Definitely part of his plan. Many blessings in your education 🙏🏼❤️

At least he doesn't have to worry about bullies.

He will be a great man!❤

Bless this teacher

He is so precious ☺️

Wow what an experience!

Totally off point but could they at least get a rug on the floor. That echo would drive me insane.

I'm wondering why aren't there any other children in the village 😥 Does he have any friends or playmates? Is the whole village filled with old people 😥

soo... no explanation of where all the other kids are? Why is he the only kid there?

I would loved to have been the only child in the class - no bullying, name calling, being teased and picked on. Plus I learned better one on one.

What an adorable little boy!

There’s a girl in Argentina, from a small city, who studies math at university and her classes are basically like this, one-on-one lessons between the professor and the student. There are a couple more people studying the same degree, but they aren’t coordinated, so she ends up having solo college math lessons.

That scene at the end where they're walking together 🥹❤ so sweet.

my gradma grew up on a farm and said here school only had 11 kids for all the grades up through high school

Hes probably supersmart because he got so much attention from his teacher and also this is heaven for introvert

A literal private school.

So awesome!

That kid is gonna be brilliant

This reminds me of a video I've watched months ago about a Japanese child being the onky student at school somewhere in a rural place (I forgot the name of the place).It really is sad to see more schools are shutting down due to less students.

This is an investment, not an extravaganza for the country!

This child is so humble but that is so weird a whole school and ONLY one student, wow this must be a really small Village, I hope well for his studies amd that he has a really happy life , because honestly his situation is not unfortunate, he is very lucky to go to school.a very cool kid right there ❤❤❤

I sincerely hope Mahir will succeed in life. On an unrelated note, the echoes from the school give me the chills.

I feel sorry for the boy. It's nice that he gets a local education, but its sad he has no friends his own age nearby.

Reminds me of my baby cousin who also lives in a very small remote village, he’s 10 and there’s only 6 kids in his school (iirc the oldest classmate is 16 and the youngest is 7)

How fortunate for him.

His teacher is also his friend, no bullying, nothing. My kids would love this.

great to have a teacher like that

How cool would this be, he's always first in line for lunch and recess, plus he receives all the attention from the school staff, have fun kid ,work hard and you will succeed

This reminds me of a quote. "A future without children. Future Generations will thank us."

THIS teacher has it Made in the Shade!

this kid is smart, i have a feeling

What a lovely story!

Yeah, this is a lovely thought, but sort of a waste of money and resources. Bosnia is a very poor country, so opening, heating, cooling, cleaning, and maintaining a school for one child is ridiculous. The teacher could simply teach the child at home. Something doesn't add up.

Put some sound dampeners in those walls. Hearing that echo in that empty classroom all day would drive me crazy.

He’s young enough that it doesn’t matter.

I don’t get it. What is the back story? WHY is he the only child?

Thank you, Lord! They show up for each other every day!

So he has a private tutor, so what?

I especially like the part where they explain why he’s the only student.

Great, but what about the backstory? I expect more from AP. This is not a random person making a reel or short.

It would be interesting to have known why he was the only student? Are there no other children in the area?

Where is located, it would be nice to move new families over there, and boy can play with someone their own age. Education first, very important.👏🏻🙌😍

Why is that? Are there no children in the community?

"But look at me now" that confidence is so powerful. We could learn a lot from this boy

Believe e, it is WAY better this way!!! Two of my three kids now homeschool because of severe bullying and nothing being done about it.

Why doesn’t the teacher just go to his house to tutor him? Why is there even a school there? Did there used to be children? What happened to them??

But why is he the only one?

What a lucky kid.

Great reporting (not). WHY is he the only student?

He's learning process is perfect! 😍

At least bring in a dog for him to play with at recess.

could they put a few things in there to lessen the echo that would drive me nuts

Now that is one true school. 😎😎🔥🔥

that teacher is awesome

This is a bit like home schooling. So many benefits to it. (We home schooled our five children who all went on to college. The youngest one has one year old college left. The rest are settled into their careers and doing well.) This young man will get along so well with people. He has had a great role model in his teacher!

The effect of low birth rates…

I’m guessing that people with children aren’t moving to the village because there is no school. This kid may very well get some classmates in the future.

a bit odd that the teacher doesn't just go be his home tutor basically, why have the whole transit and whole building in use just for two people?

This is a great testament to education!

The true meaning of it takes a village .Bless them all .

Did they say"why"?

What’s the back story here? He’s the only kid in the whole town? Population like 132 as of 2013 the interweb says. That’s crazy!

He will never raise his hand to ask a question

That is sad that he is the only school aged child yet so cool the village hired a teacher for him so he could get an education ❤❤❤
