A programme has been set up in one Swiss canton to teach unaccompanied minors practical skills. (SRF/swissinfo.ch) <br />In the last two years, the number of children seeking asylum in Switzerland without their parents has skyrocketed. <br />They are usually placed in public schools nearest to the asylum shelters where they live. <br />But some are too old for the school curriculum, and are left to linger in the transit centres. To solve this problem, a school has been opened in the town of Weinfelden in canton Thurgau to cater for their needs.
