Namaste !
Here I am sharing you all about information and activities that I have
found during my last visit to Gati for a week.
New Teachers:
From new academic session school management has appointed dedicated, well
experience new teachers in Kali Devi secondary school replacing vacant post in
Kali Devi Secondary School in Gati,because most of the teachers have already
resigned from Kali Devi secondary school. They would like to apply for
government job since government have published notice for vacancy announcement
for various position through civil service office. It's quite hard to be passed
so they need plenty of time to prepare for exam.
New Teacher in Seti Devi: Since Goma Kumari Shrestha, head teacher of Seti
Devi Basic School has resigned from Seti Devi School according to noticed from
education office as they are offering for option to choose either teacher exam
for permanent or resign to receive compensation. Hem Laxmi Tamang got
opportunity to replace vacant post replacing Goma's position. So, School
management committee has decided to recruit new teacher to replace the position
of Hem Laxmi Tamang. I was in Seti Devi Basic School during teacher selection
where 10 fresh candidates had participated on selection process. Alish Basnet a
young smart lady from Barhabise could succeed to obtain highest points among
ten candidates and has appointed as an English teacher in Seti Devi Basic
School, Dandakateri.

First Terminal
Exam: While visit each school of our project
area in last week of June 2019, they all are busy with the first terminal exam,
according to the annual calendar of the Barhabise Municipality Education
Department, which has ended before the monsoon holidays. The exam was of
municipality level, which has to be attempted common question set by education
department of municipality.

Renewable Energy Solar fitting Training:As
same like in Dansing, I have asked Thrive Nepal to provide a solar light
connection and installation training in Gati for grade 9 students for practical
knowledge and skills. They were satisfied with the proposal and agreed to carry
out their regular program for two days in Kali Devi Secondary School. There
were 40 students from grade 9 have actively participated in the training and
have the opportunity to gain practical knowledge about connecting and
installation of solar energy. School management committees and teachers were
enthusiastic about the program and helped to conduct training at school. During
the training, due to the high number of participants, the group had to divide
into two groups. We could simultaneously organize basic first aid training from
the health assistant to another group to ensure precaution and health awareness
as well as emergency case.

Examination (SEE): SEE result has
published on last week by the Central examination board, SanothimiBhaktapur. There
were 22 students have participated on SEE examination from Kali Devi Secondary
School, Gati this year. Among them 1 student could obtain A+ and 1 has passed with
A, likewise 5 students have passed with B+, 11 students have passed with B and
4 students have passed with C+. Comparatively the score shows better
result than previous year. Pleased to share that student from Kali Devi
Secondary School Gati have attempted in examination in English medium for the
first time.
School Building in Sotang:The school building construction in Sotang has
been completed and it is planned to use a new building after the monsoon
holidays. Recently, they began to manage and decorate the classrooms to enhance
a better learning environment and more visually-based information for kids that
has painted on the classroom walls. I have also ordered basic furniture,
educational materials and equipment for Sotang that will deliver soon.

Toilet construction:Separate
Toiletsfacilities for Boys and
Girls must be in school wherecontinuous water
flow is a basic requirement for every single school. In this regards construction
of the toilet in Dandakateri, Singarche, Kasheri, Mandra KG, Mandra School,
Sotang and Bugam is almost completed. The construction of 4 rooms toilet at
schools which have high number of students and chances to increase enrollment
similarly school with less number of student have 3 room toilet. Most likely,
all of these can be used again from the start of school after the monsoon
holidays.

Current Status of
School Building in Bugam: Glad to share with you all that the construction of a school building in
Bugam comes to an end with several trouble and issues in local level. School's
location of school, absence of road access, labour shortage and coordination in
village plus management committee are the major cause of delay on completion of
building construction. Especially the concrete work for the main
structure of the school building has completed with the completion of the roof
installation this week. Plastering, installation of doors and windows,
electricity and coloring are still to be done. We have already stored required
material in Bugam, so that the remaining work can be done in the monsoon.
However, this depends on the road access to Bugam and the available skilled
workers, as it is found that most of them are occupied by the field work during
the monsoon.

Mandra
Kindergarten: The building
construction of the Mandra kindergarten has completed and shifted to own
building from earlier rented rooms. The management committee and the children
are happy to have their own building and to relish their daily classes. The
classroom management and decoration of the classrooms will carry out soon to
enhance better learning environment and visual knowledgeable information on
wall from where kids will experience reading with fun inside the classroom. I
have ordered basic furniture items for classroom facilities in the
kindergarten.

Meeting in Singarche: It's
nice to know that the school management team could receive permission from the
district office to upgrade class in Singarche from this academic session. They
have been trying to upgrade class from five so that students can easily attend
lower secondary education in their own village; till now all students are
forced to go Barhabise after completing fifth grade. I have found that the
teachers and the school management team are very committed and trying to
provide better education for students and improve education system in
Singarche. Due to which student's enrollment rate in Singarche is relatively
high compared to other primary schools in the region. From our annual budget
plan for Singarche, they have already set up a kindergarten classroom with
wooden floor, cabinet and well carpet flooring in classroom. In addition, I
have handed over teaching materials including books and stationery, ICT
materials and materials for science lab to provide better facilities for
teaching and learning.

Gati Coffee Cooperative:
It turns out that the coffee production is slightly lower than the previous
year, as there are differences in production from year after. Anyway, there
will be more production next year as the plants bloom a lot more and new plants
are growing well enough to give more coffee next year. In addition, interested
farmers are adding more new plants in their field each year.

Classroom Decoration:
Basically classroom that assign for lower classes in Gati, Dandakateri,
Singarche and Sotang have already painted classroom walls with very interesting
and knowledgeable pictures, rhyme, chart etc. for classroom decoration and
visual information. Similarly, cupboard, notice board and book shelves and shoe
rack has been installed for proper place to store belonging of students for
wonderful classroom.

Monsoon vacation: There may be disturbance and irregularity of
students during monsoon, so to maintain regularity of every student's
attendance and avoid class disturbances from rain, school management of every
school have noticed for monsoon vacation for a month that effecting from 1st
of July and will resume from 1st week of August 2019. The holidays
are valid in most public schools in all over Nepal during the same period.
I am thinking about
organizing teacher training for teachers of all schools in this monsoon vacation
to update latest information, to provide additional knowledge to the teachers
on advance teaching methodology and teacher skill development to improve
education system in Schools.
Lastly I would like
to thank you all for great and unconditional support for improvement of
education and infrastructure development. Basically, high amount support on
school building construction which will end very soon but due to unexpected
circumstance, labour shortage, uncertain market inflation on material cost that
directly effect on investment cost and completion building construction on target
time duration.
Thanking you
NimaTshering Lama
