Welcome to Tara Education

Tara Education is a non-profit organization established in 2009 to help educate teachers and to encourage positive sustainable changes within Nepal’s educational system.

Despite increased access to education, there are major educational deficits that contribute to the fact that Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world struggling to create democracy.

Currently, over half the population remains illiterate. Problems such as poorly trained teachers, lack of administrative support, limited resources, and outdated learning practices still exist. Tara Education is implementing a more child-centered and interactive approach to learning, enriching the curriculum, and bringing the country’s extraordinary cultural heritage into the classroom.

Teachers are the key to educational change. By changing teacher practices children will learn to become better critical thinkers and problem solvers; enabling them to make the needed changes in their country and to become global citizens.
