Each child should have access to quality education to uplift the rural life of Nepali people
Quality Education Nepal and its teacher training NGO in Nepal (LEARN = “Lifting Education, Advancing Rural Nepal”) are committed to uplifting rural life of Nepali people through transforming education.
An ultimate goal is to foster rural economies and thus stem the tide of migration to cities and abroad.
Our programs are directed to teachers of groups of schools in Myagdi District, such as those of an Education Department Resource Centre or a Rural Municipality. These generally comprise one or two high schools and their associated feeder primary schools. All teachers are invited to attend, with participation rates around 90%. The selection of school areas is undertaken in conjunction with the Department of Education.
Training programs are preceded by base line surveys to assess the education and training of the teachers and the situations in their schools, including physical infrastructure and resources.
Based on the preliminary studies LEARN offers free basic level teacher training to all the teachers of the program area. The training program focuses on best teaching and learning practices, classroom management, culture building, student evaluation, information and technology in education. Subject based training includes English, Nepali, Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Information and Communications Technology, and Arts and Crafts.
Training is delivered by well qualified (Masters degree), experienced Nepalese teachers who have the language, culture and curriculum knowledge to deliver the most effective training. We believe this to be more effective (in both cost and outcomes) than training by foreign volunteers.
The LEARN approach in training ensures that the training addresses the participants’ requirements. It engages participants in active and cooperative learning activities, is active, fun-based and goal directed. Participants evaluate their learning and provide feedback to help LEARN improveits services.
