This campaign has now closed
Our Sansar is primarily focused in the rural areas of Chitwan and Hetauda, where we are working with local schools to enrich the learning and education experience of school children at primary and secondary levels. We will send 11 teachers and will educate over 5000 pupils over 3 years.

Situation
Local schools have no access to electricity, majority have no defined boundary walls for classrooms, teachers are educated to GCSE equivalent qualification with no further educational training provided, and are rampant with corporal punishment as a form of disciplining.Hence high absenteeism amongst both students and teachers, and drop-out rates is a pressing problem. There is a wide gap between rural and urban education with the literacy rates for males and females as well.
Solution
We are working closely with local schools in Chitwan and Hetauda to improve their capacity to deliver an improved standard of education. Our engagement with these schools includes provision of training for local teachers, and 1 and 2 year placements of professional teachers and trainers from the UK in the schools to work on curriculum development and provide shadow training opportunities for local staff.
