Students To Be Sent to Village Schools as Volunteers

The government of Nepal has decided to send youths to teach in village schools after passing their post-graduate or Master's degree from this year on. The service of the youths will be totally voluntary and during their stay in the village they also have to study the economic, social, linguistic and cultural significance of the village community where he/she is sent to as a volunteer.

For this purpose a committee named National Volunteer Service Preparation Committee has been constituted to oversee the entire procedure. The total procedure has not yet been finalized but it has been mentioned that the volunteers have to spend ten months in the village school.
