​August 29:  Teach for Nepal, an organization contributing to the improvement of education in community schools, acknowledged the role of banks and corporations of Nepal who are playing a key role in the movement of ending education inequality in the country.

"The support of various banks and corporation towards Teach For Nepal movement  is not only supporting students of rural parts of Nepal but it is also creating great citizens who will be taking a human-centered approach to the challenges we face in our nation," said Anil Keshary Shah, Teach For Nepal's Leadership council member and CEO of Nabil Bank.

Teach for Nepal movement was launched in 2013 to address educational inequality in Nepal. According to the organization, one of its first initiatives has been to establish a program to recruit high achieving graduates and young professionals into teaching fellowship.

The movement has shown strong results based on a number of assessments,” Teach for Nepal said in a statement.

Those institutions include HH Bajaj, Nepal Investment Bank, Surya Nepal Pvt Ltd, Everest Bank, Nepal Bangladesh Bank, Machhapuchchhre Bank, Agricultural Development Bank, Laxmi Bank, Sanima Bank and Panchakanya Group.

“In the last six years we have been able to create amazing impacts in the children's education with the help of various corporate partners and individual donors," said Shisir Khanal, CEO of Teach for Nepal.  "In the coming years, we look forward to serving an additional number of schools and continue to work in partnership with the government, schools, corporate houses and our supporters to help reduce educational inequality in Nepal.”
