This initiative has been born out of CLCR working within educational institutions throughout Nepal and discovering a severe lack of teaching and learning resources in Nepali schools of all levels.

Co-coordinately through attempting to resource our own school project The Heartland Children’s Academy (HCA), we have found providing a range of quality learning resources very difficult - often as an organisation we look to bring resources into Nepal for HCA as there is almost no reliable source or outlet for purchasing quality teaching materials.

Thus, we as an organisation in collaboration with the HCA staff have begun to create our own Nepali-made teaching and learning resources, such as numeracy and literacy based flash cards, posters illustrating animals and mathematical shapes to start with. The emphasis is predominately on these resources being in local Nepali language as well as English

The initial aim is to create relevant teaching and learning resources to be constantly used within HCA teaching practice and eventually distributed throughout schools in Nepal. However, the overall objective is to improve the level of teaching and learning opportunities for Nepali teachers and students of all ages, castes and education levels.

Outlined below are just a few pictures of the resources being created and utilised within HCA teaching practices by our teachers as well as our own Teaching and Learning Resource room at HCA. With many Nepali schools lacking a focus on the provision of relevant teaching and learning resources for their teachers and students, HCA is a stand out in Nepal for initiating this teaching practice approach!
