United World Schools Teaching Fellowship Program

United World Schools, Nepal Fellowship Program aims to improve the quality of teaching in our UWS Nepal Schools, whilst providing an opportunity for young Nepal leaders to gain valuable experience and make a real impact on the lives of remote and marginalised communities. The Fellowship’s principal aim is to provide quality education to poor and marginalised children in Nepal. The focus is therefore on teaching methodology, as well as the improvement of learning environments. Our goal is to create a sustainable program for trained and enthusiastic teachers to share their knowledge and skill-set in rural Nepal.

In the long-term, we expect the program to facilitate an exchange of ideas and become a catalyst for change on a regional and national arena. Our Alumni will go on to work in diverse educational roles; as curriculum designers, teacher-trainers, and education policy researchers, as well as more broadly in surrounding fields; as lawyers, journalists, corporate leaders, and entrepreneurs.
