Kathmandu, August 17 Nepal government is all set to initiate internet-induced education system, which covers English, Science and Mathematics subjects in community schools this year to improve the quality of teaching-learning process. The government had announced the program from this year in the budget speech 2015/16. Currently, the National Centre for Educational Development (NCED) is all set to begin the use of Smart Board for English, Science and Mathematics classes in grade XI. The Smart Board is an interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection for user input (for example scrolling and right mouse-click), same way as normal Personal Computer input devices. NCED is going to launch this new programme among 100 schools in 11 out of 14 worst quake-hit districts in the pilot phase from this academic session. Three districts in Kathmandu Valley, Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur have been excluded this year. Tulsi Prasad Thapaliya, Director of NCED, today said that the office was preparing necessary materials, human resources and managing other infrastructure necessary to run classes by using the Smart Board instead of the traditional ones. Nepal government has allocated more than Rs 180 million for this project. “This is a new experience for the NCED team and we are doing what we need to get the best outcome possible,” he said adding, “This is a supplementary programme. If we encounter difficulties while using the Smart Board, it will not affect regular classes.” English, Mathematics and Science are the most difficult subject for students going by an analysis of the number of students failing in the SLC exam. Hence, the government decided to use Information and Communication Technology in education to make it interesting and interactive for better results in the coming days, explained Thapaliya. According to Bishnu Bahadur Dware, examination controller, Office of the Controller of Examination, most students failed in Mathematics followed by Science and English this year. He said that 70,108 had failed in Mathematics, 56,165 students in Science and 28,048 students had failed in English. Dr Thapaliya assured that the Smart Board would be an effective way to improve the teaching-learning environment and enhancing the quality of education and this would eventually improve the results of students.
