印度一所学校训练学生用双手写字

Only ten percent of the population are left handed - and only ONE percent can write with both hands. 
 
在印度,只有10%的人是左撇子,而能用双手写字的更是仅有1%。
 
But all 300 students at Veena Vandini School in India can write with both their left and right hand , with some able to do both at the same time - in different languages. 
 
Every 45 minute lesson features 15 minutes devoted to handwriting practice, to make sure all students at the remote rural school have the skill. 
 
School founder and former soldier Vp Sharma said he was inspired to demand the lessons by India's first president who was ambidextrous.
 
The school, which was found in 1999 is located in a remote area, in Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh. 
 
Mr Sharma said their unique dedication to handwriting led South Korean researchers to visit and study the pupils two years ago, to find out more about ambidexterity.
