Wow! What an amazing achievement 👏 🤩😍
A lovely example of parental engagement at Shree Lukla School, supported by CITC.
38 parents and teachers recently came together for the Annual School Orientation Programme to reflect on the past year, explore plans for the year ahead and strengthen their shared commitment to children’s learning and development.
The sessions focused on the ECD curriculum, learning resources, and the introduction of new Phonics classes to help build strong reading and literacy foundations for young learners. 📚✨
Thank you to Education Support Leader Chhiring for sharing these inspiring moments 💖

This is great work from our CITC team in Nepal. Encouraging and supporting the children's parents in their understanding of how they can help their children learn.
📸 Photos from the recent CITC teacher training workshops at Shree Garma School, bringing together teachers from across the Solukhumbu region for:
🌱 3 days of Early Years (ECED) training focused on play-based, child-centred learning (extended to ECED teachers from 15 supported schools for the first time!)
📚 6 days of professional development workshops for CITC's sponsored teachers
Highlights included:
🔤 Jolly Phonics training, with support from Jolly Learning, led by the incredible accredited trainer, Shainaz Jussa
🏫 Practical workshops on classroom management, lesson planning, assessment, library work, parental engagement, art in the curriculum & IT use
A hugely valuable gathering, fostering collaboration, learning and strengthening our teaching community across the region 💪
Huge thanks to our amazing Education Support Leaders, Chhiring, Sharmila, Yamuna and Sonam, for coordinating so brilliantly 👏 and special thanks to our Education Advisor Sarah Hagen and Artist Lynda Roberts for sharing their wonderful expertise 💖

The great thing is that the teachers involved in this training will also be influencing how the other teachers at their schools teach. Spreading the skills they have learnt during this week.
The training will connect the participating ECED and the grade teachers to a larger network of teachers from the partner schools, which will promote team learning and build better support system for professional development of the teachers.
What great work being for young children.
Great work! Great examples of leadership for the next generation!
