Teachers in Nepal’s public schools follow the government-issued textbooks line by line. But due to the poor quality of these textbooks, and the use of rote teaching methods, many students are not learning.

Our solution is to give them something better to follow.

We have written over 1000 lesson plans, along with support material and student workbooks, which provide teachers with high quality step-by-step instructions to follow.

The lesson plans are closely aligned with the government textbooks so teachers feel comfortable and confident using them.

We currently run LEAP projects in the remote, rural municipality of Katari and in Mahalaxmi, Lalitpur and Budhanilkantha municipalities in Kathmandu. In each municipality, the local government match funds our costs.

In these projects, we do much more than simply hand over our resources. Our LEAP project managers live in these communities. They build great relationships with the local teachers and other key stakeholders and they visit each school every week to provide coaching and support.

We know that change takes time, trust and persistence, and that is why we work in this way.
