Sankhu Palubari Community School Students Are Thriving
Recent political violence and floods have created challenges for Nepal, but students at the Sankhu Palubari Community School (SPCS) continue to thrive! Twenty students graduated from 10th grade this year and all received outstanding results on the mandatory examination. Nationally, almost half of all 10th graders do not pass this exam, which is required for Nepali students to continue their education through 12th grade. SPCS Principal Anoop Poudel reported, “This outstanding achievement is not only a source of pride for the students and teachers but also a reflection of the supportive and conducive learning environment that our school provides.” Twenty-five new students were also admitted to the pre-K class in April; more than 50% were girls.
SPCS students are now able to
explore and experiment in the brand new
science lab that was recently
added to the school. Thanks to all
who contributed to the special 25th
anniversary fundraising campaign
that made the new science lab and
expanded computer lab possible and
multiplied opportunities for SPCS
students to gain practical hands-on
experience with science and technology.
