Established in 2023 with the initiation of non-resident Nepali nationals living overseas, this trust aims to contribute to the field of education in Nepal by acknowledging innovative ideas and contributions of school-level teachers in Nepal through the Annual NEDT award and supporting some Nepalese nationals who strive to get engaged in teaching and learning.

This is an apolitical and not-for-profit trust, dedicated to contributing to education. We strongly believe that a society cannot grow unless the people living there are educated well. Currently, we observe the educational outcomes of Nepali nationals in politics, and economy, inter alia. Our attempt, even though very minimal at this point, is to assist Nepal in delivering quality education and uplifting Nepalese society. 

What educational project do we award?

• Any educational project that has made a significant contribution to teaching and learning at the school level in Nepal. The project that a teacher has implemented in the last two years can be submitted (for example, projects submitted should have been carried out between July 2023 and December 2024). we accept submissions in both Nepali and English, and we also consider the hand-written submission (the scanned docs) if a submitter says he/she does not have access to any typing services to produce the digital version).

Awards:

Upon the publication of the 10 best educational projects selected by the award committee on the NEDT website, the top two best educational projects will receive a Certificate from NEDT coupled with NPR 1,00,000 (first prize) and NPR 50,000 (runner-up).

Words of Past Awardees

“This award motivates teachers to continue their best activities and also encourages other teachers to engage in innovative practices that enhance the quality of education. In every training session, I share about my activities and also the activities of the first runner-up, so that others can be encouraged more easily.” (Bibas Thapa, Winner, 2023)

“I have been recommending to my colleagues and other teachers since I got this award. I recommend them to do something different in the realm of teaching and leaning.” (Saroj Lamichhane, Runner-up, 2023)

“The efforts made by this organisation to expose the good practices of teaching in remote villages to the world is very commendable and excellent because this organisation has done the work of connecting successful teachers who are doing good practices in their place with other teachers at home and abroad, which I have never experienced before.” ( Ghanashyam Adhikari, Consolation Awardee,  2023)
