A good education has helped me raise a voice against injustices prevailing in society. If it were not for my education I would not be here. I studied in a private school all my life and I had never been to a public school. But reading about the state of public schools in the newspaper always bothered me. I often heard that the public schools lacked resources, were understaffed, and had a high student dropout rate. I often pondered, ‘Why are public schools the way they are?’ Whenever I saw the video of children leaving school and engaging in menial jobs, I felt disheartened. When I learned about Teach For Nepal, I got to know about the huge gap that existed between public and private schools. A small change in the classroom could change the life of the students. The children in these classrooms inspired me to become a TFN Fellow. The way TFN is working to bring a change in the education system was one of the major motivations to join this movement.
