Reflections from the first phase of activities at schools in Madhesh Province
In February 2025, our project team visited two of the project locations under the ONGD-LLEST Project: Janakpurdham Sub-Metropolitan City and Dhangadhimai Municipality. With two teams of five members each, we visited Shree Madhyamik Vidyalaya in Janakpurdham-22, Basabitti, and Shree Janta Adharbhut Vidhyalaya in Dhangadhimai-4, Shantanagar. The visits focused on setting up an offline server with O.L.E. Nepal's digital learning resources, providing tablets to access those learning materials, and introducing students and teachers to our learning platforms. Beyond that, we worked to build rapport with schools and local communities, assess learning needs, test the usability of the learning platform, gather feedback through teacher and student surveys, and lay the foundation for long-term collaboration in enhancing education.

A Walk Through the Robotics Journey: "From Kits to Competitions"
The Robotics project, initiated by OLE Nepal on May 1, 2024, and concluded on February 15, 2025, was designed to introduce an interactive and engaging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education platform to students in government schools within Lalitpur Metropolitan City. The primary objective was to address the limited exposure to practical, hands-on learning opportunities in Nepal’s public education system, particularly for students from underprivileged backgrounds. By integrating robotics into the curriculum, the project aimed to enhance students’ problem-solving abilities, foster logical reasoning, and cultivate creative thinking, all while providing an enjoyable learning experience.

Reflections from the first phase of activities at Minnath Adarsha Sikshya Sadan Basic School
By the end of March 2025, we carried out the first phase of field activities at Minnath Adarsha Sikshya Sadan Basic School in Lalitpur Metropolitan City, one of the five project schools in the ONGD-LLEST project. During this period, our efforts went beyond deploying an offline server equipped with E-Pustakalaya, E-Paath, and Hamro Ramailo Kathaharu (HRK) collection and tablets for accessing those contents. It was also an opportunity to engage directly with both students and teachers, allowing us to gain insights into their learning needs and educational contexts. We organized a series of interactive workshops and training sessions, where teachers and students learned about the digital learning platform, explored the role of technology in enhancing education, and reflected on how it can help teaching and learning practices. Additionally, a student survey assessed foundational numeracy and reading skills, helping us identify key gaps that inform the development of learning materials for our ongoing interventions.
