New School Material

In Nepal, schoolchildren are excited about the new school materials. The situation on the ground is constantly changing. Decisions to close schools are implemented at very short notice.

Nepal is not spared from the omicron wave either. Since the beginning of January the corona case numbers have been rising once more. The government decided to close places like cinemas, theatres, gyms and clubs again.

The new virus variant sparked discussions about school closures again. In some parts of Nepal, educational institutions already switched back to distance learning. Until recently, schools in the Thakre district of Dhading, where the 10 Usthi-supported schools are located, were still open. Depending on the number of infections, the schools are beeing closed repeatedly.

Last week, the students in Nepal received new school supplies. Besides books and writing materials, new bags and school uniforms were distributed.

In the current project year, the focus is also on improving the infrastructure of the early childhood development classrooms. The spaces are tailored to the playful learning of children aged three to five. The aim is to promote the children’s early childhood development and thus prepare them for their future school career. In the last few weeks, a total of six early childhood development centres have been supplied with new material. Play and learning materials were handed out and the rooms will be equipped with a cosy corner for sleeping and resting.

The education project in Nepal was initiated in the past few years and has been implemented since the beginning of 2020. In addition to promoting school education, it aims to reach and strengthen the population on various levels.
