Today was a very important day for Nepal Schools Aid, a day in which our two young Tutors began a series of workshops to follow on from the training programme run in April.
Here's the background; April 2011, 4 experienced UK teachers travel to Nepal and over 8 days deliver training for 40 teachers in our 7 schools who can speak English. A brilliant programme, but with two problems; first we have a further 50 teachers who cannot speak English well enough to attend; second after 8 days the UK teachers went back home!
The overall problem then was "how to train these 50?" The solution? Our two Tutors, Bashu and Babita spend a month learning and converting the workshops into Nepali before launching today the first of these ................ Education Psychology, for 14 teachers.
You have to give these two young people a lot of credit; these were new subjects to them a month ago and they are completely unaccustomed to teaching or training adults and yet they did all the preparation and practice in one month without a word of complaint. They were nervous for sure, but today's feedback from some of the Head teachers received from their returning teachers has been outstanding.
Stand by for Nepal Schools Aid to open it's own Teacher Training Academy in Kathmandu, and if anyone thinks we are joking ........... think again!
