Education is the process of garnering knowledge and enhancing the understanding of our lives, which gives us the opportunity to have a prosperous life.

It is an essential thing in life because it helps a person to develop and to discover what they are interested in and what they are good at. This will then allow them to find what roles they want to achieve in society.

In Nepal, the education system is structured into primary, secondary and higher education. In this age of new technologies, it still follows traditional methods of teaching and learning. Technology and skills are extremely critical for this generation, alongside education.

To understand the importance of modern education in Nepal, I interviewed two teenage students and one teacher to get their perspectives on the topic.

Binita Nepali, 15, who studies at Kathmandu’s Shree Bal Vikas Samaj Basic School, believes that modern education is essential for technological and skills development. Teachers must prioritise all students and employ cutting-edge techniques.

“Teachers have to teach students by using modern technology. There should be more focus on practical and skills-based education,” she says. “The government has to provide materials to Nepali schools that will help the teacher with their students.”

These arguments and perspectives provide rational reasons as to why modern education is important in Nepal. It can make students competitive with other students and capable of performing proper work. It can help them achieve a successful career and a more fulfilling life.
