Organized by: Inspire Youth Nepal

Project Overview:

In this technology led world, every aspect is shifted towards the digital platforms. Likewise, we also need the digital platforms in education which was accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspire Youth Nepal played a very vital role for the thousands of students and educators across Nepal especially in the rural and low-income urban areas. Our aim is to educate students in a digital platform and make them used to with the digital learning platforms. This initiation continues to remove the technological and digital literacy barriers.

Inspire Youth Nepal launched the Digital Teaching and Learning Initiative aiming to improve both students and teacher. It only happened possible when we launched several campaigns to properly use the digital tools, skills training and e-learning platforms. There were obstacles in rural and urban deprived areas where students out of reach to the digital learning platforms. IYN launched several campaigns by providing the students with the required material and making them used to with the digital platforms and e-learning.

This generation requires the technical information and this initiative has really helped the ones who are interested into the technological field. They are amazed by the proper use of the digital tools making their day-to-day activities easier and more effective. We seek to build the best platform for the students for quality education and technology led platforms.

Purpose of the Project:

✅ To provide students and teachers with access to digital learning tools such as laptops, projectors, and online platforms.

✅ To train teachers on modern digital platforms for effective classroom and remote learning.

✅ To reduce the digital education gap among underprivileged students in rural and urban-deprived communities.

✅ To ensure that learning never stops, regardless of socioeconomic barriers or future disruptions (e.g., lockdowns, natural disasters).

✅ To integrate digital literacy into mainstream education, making it a core skill for the next generation.

Target Groups:

✅ Government school students (Grades 6–12)

✅ Teachers with limited access to digital tools or training

✅ Schools with no or limited technological infrastructure

✅ Remote or semi-urban learning communities around Kathmandu Valley and nearby districts

Key Project Activities:

1. Smart Classroom Setup:

✅ Installed smartboards, projectors, and educational software in target schools.

✅ Provided laptops, tablets, and multimedia kits to facilitate interactive teaching.

✅ Equipped rural classrooms with offline-accessible content (videos, animations, PDFs) for limited internet zones.

2. Teacher Training & Capacity Building:

Conducted digital platforms related workshops on:

✅Google Classroom & Zoom for teaching

✅ Creating interactive digital lessons

✅Online assessment tools and learning management systems

✅ 50+ teachers trained to adapt to modern teaching technologies.

3. Student Digital Literacy Programs:

4. Mobile Digital Learning Labs:

✅ Set up portable digital learning labs that travel to schools with no internet.

✅ Provided tablets pre-loaded with offline learning content.

Results & Achievements:

✅ Over 500 students benefited from direct digital literacy and e-learning access.

✅ 50+ teachers trained in digital teaching methods.

✅ 5 government schools equipped with basic smart classroom technology.

✅ Improved student engagement and performance through interactive, visual learning.

✅ Increased attendance and enthusiasm, particularly among girls and marginalized students who previously lacked exposure to technology.

Conclusion:

The foremost part of this particular campaign is transforming the way students and teachers interact with education. By breaking the digital divide, IYN enabled hundreds of students to gain the tools and confidence within themselves to seek more into technological advancement. Our initiative has really helped to boost the confidence to thrive in the modern world.

We should never take this initiative as the privilege as it is the rights of the students to get the right resources and training through the digital platforms with the advancement in the technology. We are more committed to expanding this project to more remote communities, partnering with schools and municipalities and helping Nepal’s education system become more inclusive, interactive and more advanced.

Next Steps:

✅ Expand to 10 more schools across Nepal

✅ Develop custom e-learning content in Nepali and local languages

✅ Seek collaboration with the Ministry of Education and local municipalities for wider implementation

✅ Provide follow-up training and technical support to teachers quarterly
