Teach For Nepal (TfN) has honoured 17 banks and private corporations, who supported the movement in the last fiscal year, in an event organised on the occasion of national children’s day.
Teach For Nepal (TfN) honoured banks, corporations, and individuals, which are playing a key role in the movement of ending education inequity in Nepal during a Partnership Celebration Event hosted by TfN's leadership member and managing director of Hansraj Hulaschand and Company Private Limited Shekhar Golchha at an event in Kathmandu, reads a press note issued by the TfN.
More than one hundred chief executive officers and executives of various financial institutions and corporations, along with TfN's leadership council members Dr Mana Prasad Wagley, Anil Keshari Shah, Rajan Shrestha, Kiran Nepal and Amina Singhattended the programme. The chief guest of the event was minister of Education, Science, and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokharel.
From the very first year, my company believed in Teach For Nepal’s vision and has been supporting them financially, Golchha, on the occasion, said, adding that TfN is bringing change and an increasing number of supporters towards the movement. “We are sure that this movement is creating great citizens who will be taking a human-centered approach to the challenges we face in our nation.”
TfN movement was launched in 2013 to strengthen the public school system in Nepal. It recruits outstanding university graduates and young professionals into teaching fellowship. This initial fellowship provides an initial intensive residential training followed by two years of leadership development programmes for the fellows, who start their leadership journey by teaching in the classroom. Now in its seventh year, the movement has achieved support from 17 Nepali corporate houses, which include various banks, corporations, and including collaboration with local governments. The movement has shown strong results based on a number of assessments.
“We have to stop teaching technical subjects on blackboards,” minister Pokharel said, emphasising on country’s need for technical education. He also appreciated Teach For Nepal for providing volunteer teachers (fellows) to support the government’s mission in reaching out to rural communities. “By drawing a new pool of talented individuals from diverse education backgrounds into teaching, Teach For Nepal is contributing to long-term systemic impact in strengthening public schools in Nepal,” he said, adding that Teach For Nepal fellows are working relentlessly to teach the children and prepare them for the world. “And to know that our country's financial institution and corporation are contributing towards improving education to make sure Nepal succeeds in the global race gives me immense pleasure.”
According to Teach For Nepal chief executive officer Shisir Khanal Teach For Nepal was started with the belief that Nepali young individuals can make tremendous difference in the lives of children across the country. “Now to see 17 local private institutions support our work, we feel truly privileged to be a movement that mobilises local resources to attain a common vision of quality education of all children regardless of their socio-economic background,” he said, adding that in the coming years, TfN looks forward to serving an additional number of schools and continuing to work in partnership with the government, schools, corporations, and our supporters to help reduce educational inequity in Nepal.
