KATHMANDU Cheap All White Air Force 1 Flyknit Low UK , Dec. 22 (Xinhua)-- Despite the chilly weather, more than 700 college students walked 5 kilometers on Saturday in this capital city to express their support for a movement to bring quality education to public schools in remote areas of Nepal.
The youths joined hands with professional and civic groups in calling on the government to provide quality education in remote districts of Nepal. The silent march that lasted for two hours was spearheaded by Teach for Nepal (TFN), a non-profit and non-stock organization.
Aside from joining the walkathon, the college students also chipped in 1,000 rupees (9.88 U.S. dollars) each to generate funds for the needy but deserving students in the countryside.
"City youths like us are lucky because we are near our schools. But we feel sorry for those rural students who need to walk for hours. They too deserve the same quality education that we have here in the city Cheap Air Force 1 Low Leather White Black UK ," Swantani Shakya, a software engineer and a participant of the walkathon, told Xinhua.
The money generated from the 700 students and other participants will be used as stipend for young volunteer teachers who will have to leave the city to teach in far-flung areas.
This year, more than 300,000 students failed in the School Leaving Certificate (SLC) Cheap Men's Air Force 1 Deconstruct PRM Medium Grey UK , also termed as "iron-gate." More than 70 percent of those who failed came from the public schools, a clear indication that public schools have failed in providing quality education to students.
The reason for this is that public schools in the rural areas don't have qualified teachers and they also lack books and other teaching materials.
To solve this problem, the TFN has started selecting young and outstanding teachers and sending them as fellows to public schools in the rural communities where they will stay for two years.
The TFN program officially started in 2013. Now there are 49 volunteer teachers assigned to 25 rural public schools in Lalitpur and Sindhupalchowk districts.
Shiva Kadel, a young volunteer teacher assigned to Chandeswori Secondary School in Simle village in Lalitpur District for the past eight months, said although the district is part of the capital Cheap Air Force 1 Mid 07 Black UK , it is still a rural area where people do not have the amenities of city living. "Students in the village still walk for hours to carry water every morning and evening. I am happy that I am able to teach the children of the village and contribute to their upbringing,"Kadel said.
Like Kadel, a 2012 fellow named Bhawana Shrestha, originally from eastern Terai Region, quit her journalism career just to teach in the countryside and bring quality education to the rural folks.
The Nepal government this month introduced a grading system for publishing the SLC results from next year to improve the secondary level examination evaluation process. However Cheap Men's Air Force 1 Low All Black UK , there are some apprehensions about the success of this process.
"We want to end the education inequality in Nepal. We are glad that we have the generous support of some of our talented and selfless young professionals who are willing to sacrifice their own careers just to bring quality education to the less-fortunate Nepali students,"said Shisir Khanal, TFN chief executive officer.
According to Khanal, more than 1,050 young students from across the country Cheap Air Force 1 Mid 07 White Black UK , have applied as TFN fellows for 2015. These fellows are ready to quit their attractive jobs and lifestyle just to help in educating poor but deserving students in the rural areas.
One of the greatest holidays you can have is in a caravan, you can just go whenever you feel like it and dont have to worry about hotels or apartments. The possibilities are vast, there are many caravan sites around, some of them in very sought after beauty spots which will only add to your holiday experience.
Whilst a holiday is cheap, purchasing your own caravan is a lot more expensive. So many people search for used caravans for sale to help them get onto the caravan band wagon and there are a few things that you need to look out for.
The most obvious thing to observe is the general condition of the caravan Cheap Men's Air Force 1 Low 07 LE Deep Burgundy Gum UK , if it looks in a state of bad repair then its probably going to need some work on other parts as well. You want to find something that looks ok, a bit of paint peeling of here and there is ok, that can easily be fixed. In fact you might want to repaint your caravan anyway to your personal taste.
There are many newspapers, magazines and internet websites where you can search for caravans that people are selling, so take some time to research and once youve found some that are interesting Cheap Air Force 1 High PRM 07 Sneakers Mica UK , make a time to go and view them. The interior should be in a relatively ok condition and not too tatty, so make sure you make this one of your first priorities to check out. If its got built in seats then often the fabric is worn through, but this can be easily and cheaply fixed so dont concern yourself with that too much.
Make sure that you test out all of the appliances within the caravan, especially the electrics, if possible you want to have the caravan connected up so you can test that all the electrics work properly Cheap Men's Air Force 1 07 Low Metallic Gold White UK , as this can be a real pain to sort out not to mention expensive. You should pay attention also to other fitted equipment and ensure its all in good order.
If everything in the interior checks out ok then give it a thorough inspection outside. During your inspection pay close attention to any exposed bare metal and see if it has corroded, if so how bad? More serious rust can definitely be a problem and a reason not to purchase. Minor problems can be fixed easily so dont let that put you off. The walls of the caravan should also be properly sealed, so as to keep out water, its possible to repair bad sealing but preferably you want to avoid this if possible.
