RBS in Dailekh

RBS in Dailekh

The Dailekh School Project provides Rato Bangala students in the senior grades the opportunity to work in schools in Dailekh. This program is open for students in Grade 11 and 12, and recent graduates. Students still in school serve in late December and January, while the graduates work in February through March. Students who take this opportunity get a rich experience a completely different way of life. Going away from home for an extended period is the first experience. Living in Dailekh is another experience, this is made more interesting by having to share limited living space with many of their peer. Communal living, sharing and caring amongst friends is yet another experience. In addition, these students have to walk considerable distances to and from school every day. They also have a serious job of working with students for several weeks.

The first group of students conducted training for youth preparing them to take classes in the primary grades when the teachers were undergoing the three week training in 2010. Students now focus on teaching in the schools. While their mandate is to work with students in the primary grades, they might also teach older students. We hope that RBS students are able to improve the confidence and self-esteem of the students they work with.

Motivated and disciplined students are encouraged to apply, and a selection panel is at work in order to ensure that the project is successful and meaningful to all. Students are required to make a report and a presentation on their return to Kathmandu.

Four groups of students have gone to Dailekh so far.

Youth-to-Youth-to-Child Program:

In 2010, 20 Rato Bangala School graduates spent 45 days in Dailekh training over 2000 youth who in turn worked in schools with younger children for three weeks when the teachers were undergoing teacher training.
