Schools educating children in Kathmandu, Nepal

Within this website I have stated my purpose: to travel to Kathmandu, Nepal in March 2010 under the guidance of United Planet, an organization dedicated to worldwide volunteerism. I hope to teach the children within the school system there. I do not know at this time where I will be assigned. Here is an overview of some of the schools, gleaned from various websites.

Budhanilkantha School in Kathmandu is the government designated ‘National School’ of Nepal. It is a fully residential English medium co-educational public school that runs from grade 5 to 12, including the Advanced Level of Cambridge University, UK. A joint venture effort between the government of Nepal and the government of the United Kingdom, the school was established in 1972.

The school covers about 71 acres of land. About one third of the total student population receives scholarship under the government’s scholarship. Scholarship is provided to the meritorious and needy students after a very selective entrance exam conducted all over the country every year.
