Launching Coding and Robotics in Public Schools

Description

Access to quality education is a fundamental right, which still comes with a big question mark in the context of Nepal, particularly among the poor and marginalized communities, in urban and rural areas alike. Given the dismal state of public schools in Nepal catering this group of population, introducing digital education adds to yet another set of challenges. Cultural/social barriers, limited budget, absence of required infrastructures as well as lack of trained teachers and relevant curriculum are some of the challenges, which need to be tackled with a collective effort and commitment by all. Rotary Club of Yala, guided by its mission to serve the communities for a lasting change, hope that its effort to introducing coding and robotics classes on a pilot scale would demonstrate the relevance of such skills among the stakeholders, break some of the barriers and pave ways for government entities to re-think in allocating resources and provide institutional support to launch and regularize these essential curricula in the public schools.
