With improved education and facilities, a community school attracts students from private schools

Badimalika Secondary School in Raskot of Kalikot offers education in both English and Nepali, has spacious classrooms, modern science and computer labs and a special room for menstruating girls.

Bikas Tiruwa was unhappy as his parents shifted him to Badimalika Secondary School in Raskot Rural Municipality from a Kohalpur-based private school two years ago. Having studied in an English medium school from playgroup to grade seven, he doubted whether community school could provide the same quality of education.
