The quality of education in Nepal is very low, formal training and teaching qualifications are not necessary to teach in schools. Therefore, over 50% of teachers in Nepal have no or inadequate training; often the basic level is an SLC pass (an exam taken at age 16), and this alone can suffice to become a teacher. Such circumstances create a situation where high quality education cannot flourish. Most of the teachers in Nepal know only a very traditional method of teaching which comprises of lecturing and memorization, they do not know how to introduce student participation to generate a creative and active learning process.
Without having good quality education, it is impossible to improve the future generations' prospects.
Therefore, VSN Nepal is playing key role towards improving the quality of education within its working areas. This volunteer program will place experienced overseas teacher trainers alongside Nepali teachers who have little or no previous training.Volunteers will be supported by one of the few Nepali teacher trainers who will assist in initial preparation and be in contact throughout the stay. With the help of our volunteers we hope to improve the standard of teaching in Nepal and begin to create a brighter and more constructive future for Nepali children
