OUR VISION

One day, all children in Nepal will receive an excellent education and become leaders of our Democracy, our Economy, and our Nation towards Justice, Peace and Sustainability.

Public schools, we believe, are where future leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, innovators, and thinkers should be nurtured. 75% of our students attend public schools; however, the majority of them are not getting the kind of education that puts them on a path of prosperity or prepares them as leaders.

Teach For Nepal Fellowship is not just about Fellows creating immediate impact in the classroom and improving the student learning outcomes but also about exercising their agency in ways where they can also cultivate students as leaders who are informed and have the agency to participate and act on several opportunities and challenges that we face as a human society.

Thus, in 2015, Teach For Nepal engaged in a series of community exercises that raised the question on the purpose of education and our vision for our children. We asked different community members – after completing education, what kind of a person do we want our children to ultimately become? What is the kind of knowledge, skills and attitudes that they will have? What kind of role will they be playing in the family, community, and nation at large? What values will they be guided by?

The outcome of the yearlong exercise is what we call Student Vision which also directs us to teach and engage with our students in ways that expand the scope of our work from mere academics to cultivating students as leaders in their community and as global citizens. Over several years of continued discussion in communities, this has now evolved to include: Education and Lifelong learning; digital literacy, technology; entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy and Employability Skills; Health happiness and wellbeing, Climate Action; Social Justice, Democracy and Human rights; and Leadership skills to drive positive impact in communities.
