Another article from Nepal's My Republica newspaper caught my eye today, and for once (at last!) it's about something very positive about education. You can read the full article here Republica . Sharda Secondary School is in Sailung, about 70 miles east of Kathmandu. It has 350 students and has had 100% pass rate for the SLC exam (School Leaving Certificate) for the past 3 years!! Why? Simple: The quality of teachers and teaching, the dedication and hard work of teachers. As we have said for many years "you can deliver quality education under a tree if the teachers are trained, skilled and motivated".
Here are a few extracts from the article, your comments would be appreciated!
"The school building is yet to be completed. The windows and doors aren’t fixed in. The roof leaks when it rains. The students’ desks and benches are not very comfortable, either. In short, the physical infrastructure isn’t very good.
But the school operates everyday. Its teachers are hard working and provide proper encouragement to the students. The villagers also praise the school and its teachers.
The level of education is also good. The SLC results achieved by Sharda School have made it the talk of the district. After producing results like those of expensive private schools, people have been praising the teachers of the school.
Kumar Tamang, member of the school’s managing committee, believes that it is due to the hard work of the teachers and the students that such good results have materialized.
Sharda Secondary School is now counted as one of the best schools in the district. Students are happy that their school is good. 7th grader Ritu Magar feels happy that her school is so popular. “I have many friends at school now. Our teachers teach us daily. They even take extra classes. Now everything is good,” says Ritu."
