 My name is Surya Prasad Gautam. I am working at a Lidhunga Basic School as
a headteacher. I have completed thirty years of teaching at this school and this
is the thirty-one where I am still teaching. The majority of people residing
under the service area of the school are Tamang and Rai. Likewise, the main
occupation of the people is agriculture. The majority of parents are illiterate. I
have been teaching children of Rai and Tamang people since the school was
established. The children of this area are not being able to do well in education
due to lower economic and illiterate condition of their parents. In this school,
there are seventy-four children and five staffs including three teachers from
government quota, one ECD and an office assistant. My ambition is to be an
adept administrator through effective management of school, ensuring quality
education and enhancing learning achievement; thereby, making the school as
an excellent and model of the entire RM.

 Before participating in the project, there was a high practice of employing
explanation method in the learning process. The teaching staffs were not
informed about child-friendly and practical-based teaching; I also used to
follow the lecture method and made the students recite the lessons. As a result,
there was not any desired changes in students' behaviour and learning.

have you learned?

indispensable and significant profession and a tool for eliminating malpractice

exemplary and responsible personnel. Nowadays, I am enjoying inside the

rural and remote place from my personal as well as parents, teachers and

similar practices in future too.

are realizing the scarcity of internet, computer and the manpower to facilitate
them in classrooms. Therefore, I request to provide the aforementioned support
