The newly launched English Education project
aims to improve the English communication skills among students so they can
access academic and/or professional opportunities. Education Volunteers teach
classes 5-8 in rural government schools, and the project has three primary
focus areas: 1). Building the capacity of Nepali English Teachers so they can
teach English more effectively; 2). Increasing English skills among students in
grades 5-8; and 3). Strengthening community support for English language
learning.
