The School Sector Development Plan (SSDP; 2016/17–2022/23) envisages the establishment and operation of a number of Model Schools to demonstrate improved teaching-learning and student learning outcomes.

Most of the schools in Nepal are still being run in a conventional way in terms of management and teaching-learning. The whole school environment is focused on encouraging children to get the text by heart. The text books and teaching aids made available by the central level only are being used.

“For all these reasons, teaching and learning that are suitable to children has not been addressed properly. In the model schools, these issues are addressed. If the techno-friendly and inductive teaching environment exists in the schools, children can learn quickly and they will have less mental stress while reading and writing”. (Source: SSDP Guidelines and National Framework for Child Friendly School.)

Co-operation Society  Nepal (CSN) under the funding support of  Sunrise Children Association (SCAI) Australia are implementing” Project for the development of disadvantaged and vulnerable children and communities in Nepal through child protection, education and livelihood support, Nuwakot, Nepal”. This project intends to add some motivational and promotional support for community based/government schools so as to improve qualitative teaching – learning and measurable improvement. Therefore, this Emidas support plan is proposed for the promotion and support for school to improve qualitative teaching and learning through the introduction of Emidas form class ECD,1,2,3 and 4.
