1 Computercentrum Nala Achtergrond De Nepalese overheid heeft noch het geld noch de middelen om veel geld te steken in onderwijs als ook niet in de opleiding van onderwijzers. Wie het kan betalen gaat naar het buitenland om te studeren. Voor kinderen uit de beter gesitueerde gezinnen bestaat nu de kans om te studeren aan de zogenaamde private schools, waar het onderwijs redelijk goed is. De ouders betalen de school. Het computeronderwijs neemt een hoge vlucht. Maar ook hier zijn het de particulieren die deze opleidingen geven. Ook hier geldt weer dat wie kan betalen een cursus/ opleiding kan volgen. Enige studenten hebben nu bij stichting Hatemalo het voorstel neergelegd om zelf een computercentrum te beginnen in een van de
hoofddorpen, Nala. De initiatiefnemer, Sushant Sigdel, heeft een eerste voorstel geschreven dat we hebben opgestuurd naar financieel deskundige Joop Jurgens, verblijvend in Zuid-Frankrijk. Hieronder het uiteindelijke plan, dat gedetailleerd en naar de praktijk in maart 2014 zijn beslag krijgt. Wiel Palmen is dan enige maanden in Nepal. ( Zie verder motivatie voor dit project en verderop de briefwisseling tussen Joop Jurgens en Sushant Sigdel). Review of Computer Center and Tuition Center establishing plan in Nala Nepal is a developing country. Many parts of my country are still following the older lifestyle for living. The computer technology and its benefits are still a new chapter for many students. Nala, my village is just 30 K.M. far from the capital city Kathmandu but still we have the same problems with computer knowledge. Many of us don t know what can we do with computers, how they are helping the development of world. So I and a small
group of my friends decided to open a new computer center in Nala For our successful project first of all we did survey among the local schools of my village. The main aim of that survey was to find out the students response of students towards our plan. The result of survey showed that more than 90% of students are interested towards the computer education and they will definitely join the course if they can afford it. During the same time we asked another question to the students, what they wish other thing for their study. Many of the government school students wished a tuition center for English, Mathematics and Science subjects. So finally we looked back to our plan and added a new word our project as Computer and Tuition Center. After, we give missions and visions to our plan. The missions of our projects are as follows: To keep the village alert with technologies and computer education! To give a right platform for all the intelligent and energetic students. To increase the practical life than a theoretical practice. Make the coaching education affordable for low economic students. After the clear ideas we asked some local administration to help for establishment. They response they ll help
us with ideas and giving a right platform. They couldn t help us with economy because of crises. So we decided to collect fond for establishment with the foreign donors who are really interested toward our project. Now we want to say that we have constructed a new road of education for low economic and intelligent students we request you to provide some vehicles of chances and opportunities for them. Please heartily help us if you think we are doing well. If you wish to know more about project or wish to have a proposal letter for sponsorship or any other queries contact us. For any kind of feedback: krazyheart_sushant@yahoo.com Te verwachten resultaten Wanneer dit centrum functioneert zal het een uitstraling hebben op de omgeving. Goed computeronderwijs en de studie van de Engelse taal en enige ondersteuning bij rekenen zal kinderen helpen betere resultaten te behalen en ook in staat zijn de ontwikkelingen in de wereld te volgen.
Controle Er zal ter plaatse toezicht geregeld worden. Financiële verantwoording verloopt via de penningmeester van Hatemalo Nepal. Een duidelijk en inzichtelijk controlesysteem zal in maart 2014 ter plaatse besproken worden. Duurzaamheid Computercentra zoals deze voorzien in een behoefte, omdat de drempel vooral financieel laag is en zodoende open staan voor de allerarmsten. Het gaat hier om kinderen, die de nieuwe generatie zullen vormen en door beter onderwijs meer toegerust zijn Nepal vooruit te helpen.
Begroting (zoals deze is ingediend door Sushant Sigdel). Financial The center has clear ideas in the financial part. We only like to ask economical help with sponsors for the establishment period later the regular expenditure will be controlled by the center itself. A motorbike is necessary as a means of transportation since there is not regular transportation facility. The detail of income and expenditure is mentioned below. Uitvoering Het plan staat in de steigers. Niet meer dan dat. In maart 2014 is Wiel Palmen in Nala en zal met deskundigen (onderwijs, financiën) en de studenten olv Sushant Sigdel een vertaling maken hoe de realisering tot stand kan komen. De vraag is of er sponsors of fondsen zijn die NADAT er een goed en inzichtelijk plan ligt willen meewerken aan de realisering.
Nu wordt slechts gevraagd om een intentieverklaring en directe sponsoring vindt dan pas plaats als de sponsors /fondsen groen licht geven. We zal een klein bedrag gevraagd worden voor onderzoek ter plaatse ( oa vervoer en overnachting, ongeveer 250 euro) Verslaglegging en verantwoording De subsidieverstrekkers zullen zeer nauwgezet op de hoogte worden gehouden, via verslagen, beeldmateriaal en verslag door eigen waarneming.

BIJLAGEN: Proposal to open a new Computer Center and Tuition Institute Introduction Ugrachandi Nala V.D.C. is located at 30 K.M. east from the capital city Kathmandu but still this village is poor in technology systems and computer education. The difference between the high class family and the poor class family is causing the difference in education system also. The students from high class family use to go to the private English based boarding school where the rules and management systems are strict and so the level of education is very good. On the other hand there are Nepali language based public schools, mainly the junction of poor class family students, are not well managed and education level is very poor. The main problems from this type of public school are that they are very poor in the subjects like English, Science, Mathematics, etc. They don t even have the basic knowledge of computer. The computer and technology education are not in reach of these classes of students. The students, who want to learn the computer courses, go the nearby municipality after the completion of their secondary level. To keep the village updating with the technology and in order to serve good tuition to the students from the poor family, we are planning to open a new computer center and tuition institute. Basically the team is oriented for the social work and the team is ready to serve them with no profit business. The overview of the detail plan and the ideas are mentioned below.
Why? Being the educated and technology oriented part of the village, it is our duty to create equality between any of the class and conditions. We aim a new locality with educated and technology based students. If we keep our concern to the result of private and public schools, the students from public schools seem to be very poor whereas the private students are good in level. It doesn t mean that the students from public schools are less intelligent than any others. They seem poor because lack of the well trained teachers and well equipped study hall. During our visit we were in a public school that has ten numbers of computers. We asked some questions to one of the teacher who was handling the computer lessons. He let us to know that the theory knowledge is given three hours a week and practical knowledge is just one hour a week. When we asked why is that, he informed that the courses are not authorized and are not usable in the daily life. The no. of computers is not enough for the students. In the process of survey we were to a private school. We had an appointment with the principal and were general conversations between him. We asked him some general questions as follow: Why you started a private school of your own?
The aim of establishing private school is to give the quality education to the students and as we know the private schools are based on English medium education which is the international language also. Does it mean that the public schools are not in their work? No, we cannot say that the public schools are not in work. They are serving the poor students with free education but the problem is the management system and the corrupted teachers. Why you are not giving the scholarships to the poor students? The private schools are opened with limited source and small benefits so the scholarship schemes are not in actions. Is there problem in public schools students or the teachers? I think whole the management systems of public schools are in problem. The teachers are not qualified; they are not regularly updated with the course to be taught. There are some problems within students also those are they don t complain about the problems and are not well concerned to their study.
At last would you like to say something about the education system of Nepal?The education system of Nepal is not satisfactory. The government needs to bring some good laws in action. The public schools need to be wemanaged with no corruption. They should give the first priority to the English language system to be familiar with modern world. Now we can conclude that many students of public schools are intelligent and qualified and they can achieve progress if a right chance is given at right time. So our team is trying to give a right platform to those students who really need it. Tips and Tricks We are supported by different local social workers and administrations with their ideas. The public schools form the village are ready to collaborate with us. Team is working hard for the collaboration with many other organizations who can certify our teaching methods and trainings. The main aim is to give the students a good training with verified certificate.although the plans and the tips are very beneficial for the poor students the center cannot have the establishment due to lack of budget. We want some financial help from the donors. Currently Hatemalo Neitherlands-Nepal is supporting us but we want some more help from you to have this plan in action. The tricks for running the center are mentioned below: Hatamalo and other donors will help for the establishment.
The income from the cyber and the net amount of small money collected from students will be used for running institute and salary of co-workers. The institute will have good coordination with local administration and public schools. The certificate given from the institute will be the valid one. The center will be based in social work rather than benefit. The center aims to establish within October-2013. Reaction to the question araised after sending Proposal to open a new Computer Centre and Tuition Institute in Ugrachandi Nala Nepal sent by Mr. Joop Jurgens via email.
8 th of July 2013 Dear Mr. Joop Jurgens I am glad that you understand our proposal correctly and feeling very nice that you have such serious queries. It was not so hard to reply your queries because our team had the clear visions already but some of them made us think. Our computer center aspect the help for establishment period and we have plans for the running period. I conform you that we will make it updated depending upon the demand of students. Many new trainings will be added during the running period depending upon the necessary. I have given the responce for your queries below. Please check it out and don t hesitate to send more queries if you find it not exact what you want. The queries you sent and their response are as follows: 1. Is the project mend for a limited period? No it is for a longer period. We will have no problem to run it after establishment. 2. How many students do you estimate for each of the trainings? We estimate about 40 students for tuition every month and 100 students a year for computer.
3. How will the lag of knowledge of American/English language be catched up? The English language will be international English provided via coaching by the well experienced teachers. 4. How long will their complete training take? There are two types of computer trainings one is course wise training which can take several months depending upon how much the students demand and another one is short time trainings for about 3 months. Such trainings can be graphic designing, web page designing, hardware and software maintenance and etc al. 5. Will there be a sufficient number of followers over several training periods? Yes it is sure that there is no any other institute in the village who can meet the students demand is the cheapest price. We wish to serve not the benefit. 6. Do you expect interim resignations? Our team has a good synchronization and understanding so there is less possibility of it. In case if we have such problems it is not hard to fix cause you know when there is will there is way! 7. What will be the level of Knowing How after completing the full training? After completion of the training an annual test of students will be taken which will include all the points that should be learned in the training period. The performance in this test exam will grade the student and the certificate will be provided. 8. What connection to a paid employment will there be? The paid employee will be the teachers to train and considered as our consoler. We will try our best to keep a strong bond with them. And with regard to your budget planning: 9. Will a salary of 7,000 Nrs. monthly guarantee the availability of qualified teachers over a longer period? Yes because that is a margin for a tuition teacher in our locality. And for your information we cannot grade teachers with the money we pay it is also possible that we pay more because for his big reputation so it doesn t matter how much salary we pay. We do have many friends who are really talented in the subjects we want to train, they can help us for working in cheap salary.
10. What exactly are the incomes from Cyber? The cyber will provide the facility of internet, VOIP, skype, internet calls. We cant be sure that how much people will visit us every day but depending upon the demand we can be quite sure that it will cover our expanses every month. If the cyber will be in profit more than we assume the savings will be provided as scholarship to the poor students in public schools. 11. How realistic it is it to expect a fee of, all together 35,000 NRs monthly from the students? From tuition 40 students * 400 NRs. tuition fee = 16,000 NRs. And remaining is from average of computer students yearly. 12. From where will these Extras come? The computer center can get more works as printings, typings, making photocopy, lamination, the internet call charge and later we plan to deal with website deigning these are the sources of extra income.
