Measures Realized in each School
In the 7 schools of the VDC which are all supported by us, there are in total 50teachers (11 of them fully paid by us, 4 others get a small subsidy) plus 7 CDC teachers. There are 46 classes with 985 pupils, plus 5 nursery schools with 76 children. The girls represent 52% which is a rather high rate for Nepal. It is as well remarkable that in 27 classes out of 46 the percentage of girls is the same or higher than that of the boys. This is a positive development of recent years.
In the following the data for teachers and pupils include the 5 nursery schools (Kindergardens).
