Some Rolpa schools are teaching students livelihood skills alongside classroom education

Students cultivate crops, rear livestock, and make handicraft items. ‘Kamaundai padhdai’ or earn-as-you-learn campaign is gaining traction.

The Siddhartha Secondary School, located in Jinabang in ward 3 of Gangadev Rural Municipality, Palpa, has found a way to attract students and make them independent. The school launched a campaign called ‘Kamaundai Padhdai’ meaning ‘earn as you learn’ for students some four years ago in order to equip students with academic knowledge and practical skills.
