Having been to both government and boarding schools, I've seen the hurdles many students face, especially in learning English. Government schools often operate with limited resources, and I recall English classes where even basic grammar was a challenge. Competing with peers from urban areas with access to superior education and resources was no small feat. When I moved to Kathmandu for college, I felt the weight of my language skills—or lack thereof. I was often hesitant to speak up, fearing judgment. I chose to remain silent rather than asking questions with the fear of mispronouncing words. Many students from rural areas are bullied for their language skills, and this insecurity extends into the job market. Education in Nepal is a tale of two worlds: government schools, where education is affordable but often lacking in quality, and private boarding schools, accessible only to the wealthy, offering advanced coaching and resources. Practical skills are rarely emphasized, leaving many students ill-prepared for real-world challenges. But we can see the change coming, thanks to visionary leaders like Balen Shah. As a mayor, Balen Shah is transforming public schools across Kathmandu. His efforts to modernize infrastructure, integrate technology, and provide comprehensive teacher training are game-changers. I recently watched a video of Balen Shah discussing his experiences, and it brought back memories of my own school days. His commitment to improving public education is not just commendable; it’s inspiring. Scholarships from private schools are also making a significant difference, offering more students the chance to excel. Here’s a clip from the video. It’s a powerful reminder that with the right support, every student has the potential to succeed. Let's support and celebrate the revolution to giving every child in Nepal a fair shot at success. Together, we can break down barriers and build a brighter future. #EducationReform #YouthEmpowerment #LanguageSkills #PublicSchools #BalenShah #Nepal #Inspiration #CommunityChange #financialLiteracy https://lnkd.in/gGTgJmBV

Across the globe, the challenges associated with access to quality schooling for children manifest in different forms and may come as a surprise to those of us fortunate enough to live in a society with universal access. Here is one such example where just in the Iraqi region of Kurdistan, with 170,000 teachers and two million students (about half the numbers for the whole of Australia), there is a lack of continuity in schooling, inadequate contact time, and an overall lack of a standardised academic calendar. These challenges can and should be addressed locally where in many cases there are positive intentions and aspirations - but may require funding or other support to build local capacity and to enable their translation into policy and practice.

In a recent report, #UNICEF highlighted that over 1.3 billion school-aged children worldwide lack access to the internet at home. This lack of connectivity, especially in the growing reliance on digital education, limits their access to quality learning opportunities. The world is evolving rapidly, and by 2030, nearly 50% of jobs will require advanced digital skills, while by 2025, 75% of jobs will demand at least basic digital literacy. #Armenia is no exception. Thousands of children, particularly those in rural regions, lack access to essential devices such as laptops, computers, tablets, or even smartphones. This kind of digital poverty jeopardizes their skill development, access to #nonformaleducation opportunities, and future career prospects. Join me as I speak up on the importance of providing more meaningful opportunities for the Armenian youth. #DigitalDivide #EducationForAll #DigitalLiteracy #EdTech #EqualOpportunities #YouthEmpowerment #QualityEducation #EmpowerArmenia

The poor results of the Central Superior Services examinations and those conducted by provincial public service commissions in recent years give a good idea of the deplorable state of education in Pakistan. One reason for this state of affairs might be the existence of different curriculums in schools. In prestigious elite English-medium schools, curriculums prepared by well-known international universities are followed and their exams are also conducted by international universities. Urdu-medium and so-called English-medium schools follow curriculums prescribed by indigenous education departments.

PRIVATE SCHOOL OR PUBLIC SCHOOLS? Leo nataka kushare mawazo na experience kwenye mada tajwa hapo juu. Kwa kuanzia hebu ni _ recap vitu vichache then tuendelee. First, binafsi nimesoma kuanzia shule ya msingi hadi namaliza chuo kikuu kwenye public schools, sikuwahi kusoma private yoyote, hata tuition. Jeje nini Athari ya kusoma public schools kwa upande wangu? Well though nimemaster kwa kiasi kikubwa and I can say I am proficient in english but I realy struggled with it before. Now lest talk about my opinions, Me I think, public schools offers more values to students than English mediums, taking myself into considerations, Public schools taught me a valuable lessons, like fighting for materials and making enough efforts to pass exams. I think english medium schools is nothing more than spoon feeding, which is not a bad thing, because learning not supposed to be a tough thing. I would rather enroll my kids to public school than private one just to make sure they got fighting insticts inside them. However na apriciate the facts that watu wengi waliopita private schools wana unmateched confidence na language ilionyooka. But simply the financial investment that parents puts inn is not equaly corresponding with the quality of educations that childs is getting. Private schools zimekua bussiness schemes, and whenever there is a legit bussines, then scammers alwasy will be around. What do you think? private schools au public schools? #Dailytalks

Children in Nepal lost an average of 3 years of learning due to COVID-related school closures and disruptions—the highest in the world. We’re working to bridge this gap for 36,000 children across 600 public schools in Madesh and Karnali provinces with an approach called Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL). The TaRL methodology is an inclusive form of teaching which groups learners based on need rather than age or grade. It focuses on building foundational skills, compared to a more traditional focus on covering a curriculum. Students are assessed regularly and moved between groups as they progress; this means that each student gets the personalized, quality education they need 🤗 📚 #Nepal #EducationMatters #InclusiveEducation
