The walls of the neat classrooms are adorned with pictures that attract children. The walls are decorated with letters for study and cartoons for fun.
There are children enjoying themselves in such a classroom environment. This is not a scene from a private school's 'Montessori' class.
This is a pre-primary classroom of Surya Jyoti Secondary School in Hupsekot-1, East Nawalparasi. Parents here are happy to have their children study in an educational environment similar to that of an institutional school.
The learning project being run in Hupsekot and Boudikali rural municipalities, with the plan that only if the educational environment in the lower levels improves, the quality of education in the upper levels will increase. The number of primary level students as well as their learning achievement has increased, according to data released.
The children here, who are weak in their studies due to low student attendance and poor physical infrastructure, are happy after the implementation of the 'learning project'. The number of children migrating from the hilly areas to the cities to study is increasing. Those living in the villages were worried about the poor physical condition of government schools.
The implementation of the learning project has helped in the all-round development of children, said Surya Jyoti Secondary School Principal Bir Bahadur Kumal. 'Trained teachers, learning-friendly classrooms and ICT classes have increased the interest of students in studying,' he said, 'Children have been able to study in a better environment than in private schools. Remedial classes have become more effective for weak students.'
The number of students enrolled up to grade 5 has increased after the school reform plan, the provision of separate teachers for weak students and remedial classes, organized toilets, training in making sanitary pads for girls and the provision of sanitary pads from machines.
In the last academic session, the school had 159 students from grades 1 to 5, but this has increased to 235 in the current academic session. In the Child Welfare Basic School, Boudikali-2, the number of students has also increased from 158 to 168, said Jivlal Bhusal, Head of the Education Branch of Boudikali Rural Municipality. These schools have improved after the implementation of the Learning Project in collaboration with Right for Children.
