Kalikot District's Innovative Approach to Education: Night Classes at Badimalika Secondary School
Badimalika Secondary School, located in Raskot municipality of Kalikot district, has recently initiated night classes for its students. This initiative, part of a broader effort to improve academic performance, particularly targets students preparing for the upcoming SEE examination.
Under the leadership of Principal Pushparaj Baral, the school has started conducting these special classes in the dormitory facilities, aiming to strengthen students' study habits and academic results. The decision to conduct night classes follows the successful admission campaign that significantly increased enrollment in government schools, demonstrating the community's growing trust in public education.
Headmaster Baral highlights that the introduction of night study sessions is intended to cultivate a robust reading and learning culture among students. With many students typically moving to cities for SEE exam preparation, the school's initiative offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative. Utilizing the vacant class 10 classrooms, the school, with unanimous support from its teaching staff, has decided to utilize this space effectively for night classes.
Parents have expressed their support for this initiative, noting the reduced strain and expenses compared to sending their children to the city for exam preparation. Jaya Bahadur Shahi, a resident of Raskot Municipality Ward No. 1, commends the school's approach, suggesting that such early and dedicated involvement by the school could lead to better educational outcomes and improved quality of teaching.
Krishna Prasad Baral, a teacher at Badimalika Secondary School, attributes the ease of implementing these night classes to the collective dedication of the teaching staff and the headmaster's progressive mindset. The school, offering instruction in both Nepali and English, stands as an exemplary model for educational innovation and commitment to student success. This initiative is a testament to the potential of community schools in driving educational reform and setting new benchmarks for academic excellence.
