Samata Shiksha Niketan, Bamboo School Project
Introduction to the Bamboo Schools Project
The view of the Bamboo Schools Project is that all children should be given access to the fundamental right of education with no distinction made based on origin, caste, or religion.
The Bamboo School Project or Samata Shiksha Niketan (“Promote Equity through Education”) builds schools made with bamboo, a readily available, inexpensive, portable material and corrugated iron roofs.
Bamboo schools operate under the “private school” status and follow the national curriculum of Nepal. They are, for the most part, like an English medium school offering classes from nursery to grade 9. Tuition is a very affordable 100 NPR (1.25 USD) per month for all students.
The bamboo schools system is a middle way between the quality, but often unaffordable, private school system, and the inexpensive, but often deficient government school system
