“We are in the digital age now. Students are learning on their own, aided by technology. We used to solely rely on teachers to acquire knowledge. Now, students can learn independently with the help of CLEC.”

“Due to the CLEC installed in 2019, we have doubled our number of students in 2021.”

NEWSLETTER JUNE 2024 - STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATION
JUNE 2024 Initially, I asked the same question. Then it dawned on me that the right answer was “why not,” for DB4N is quietly making revolutionary changes by installing Collaborative Learning Environment Center (CLEC) in public schools in Nepal. Public schools in Nepal suffer from a lack of resources, inadequate training for teachers, and overall poor quality of education. Education is almost always imparted through the lecture method, which research has shown isn’t very effective. No doubt, the dropout rates are high and these students perform poorly in board exams. |
NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2023 - A NEW YEAR AND A NEW BOARD FOR DB4N as Ed passes the torch!
01/02/2024 Eight years ago, I asked Pasang Sherpa what he needed after the earthquake in Nepal; I had no idea that this question would lead to a real contribution to the country's education system. Today, Digital Bridges 4 Nepal's (DB4N) partnership with Kathmandu University School of Education is thriving, our newest Collaborative Learning Environment Center (CLEC) will be in the new magnificent university building, and we have co-created a short course giving credits to teachers and principals in their continued modern education pursuit. |
