Online Education in Nepal
Online education in Nepal during this pandemic situation has not been effective. Online class has not been started in many schools and students outside Kathmandu valley are not well attended. The online classes were conducted only by schools in the city and they were not very effective. Government school teachers have not shown interest in adapting online education. Private school teachers have started adapting online class and teaching students even though they have not been paid since chaitra. With the shift towards online education in Nepal there are many challenges as Many students are not attending online classes because they do not have internet facilities, mobile, and laptop. Some students have more than one student at home. Those students continued their learning through radio and television.
Tika Puri, president of the Private and Residential Schools Organization Nepal (PABSON), says, “Online education in private schools in the Valley is satisfactory, but the situation is not good across the country. Outside the valley, only about 25 percent are present.”
