‘Best Montessori Chain of Schools’ to provide Montessori education even in remote villages

"When the Covid-19 was in its infancy, we moved on, even though the water came up to our noses. Now it is only coming up to the waist. Now it is easy. In the meantime, we have developed technology. We also took this technology based on remote villages. We made the teachers who live in the out of the classical go to the classroom to teach. This was certainly not an easy situation. Now the little ones in the area are learning in the Montessori classroom. We have direct contact with teachers. We provide advice on what they need in the process of learning. Technology has made all this possible.
There was a tradition of torturing students by pouring water on them. Whether it was necessary at the time or not, time will tell, however, that method and method certainly made the students more negative than positive towards the teachers. It has now become clear to teachers that corporal punishment is a bad way of teaching and learning. Sushma Subba Lama, Central President of the Montessori Association of Nepal and Principal of the Best Montessori Chain of Schools, said that the state should improve the teaching method by assimilating all these aspects and move children forward through Montessori learning.
Lama further said, "The media should also publicize the good reforms in education." It is also the duty of ordinary students, parents and society. While the teachers are imparting knowledge to the students through Montessori learning, the headmaster has also been challenged. Those who go home without taking the class after attending the class yesterday are becoming more accountable to the students today. In Japan, the government gives first priority to education reform. We don't pay attention to the learning of children saying that they will learn later when they reach old age. Even if it is called 'PG to PhD', there is a problem in it. There is a problem in leadership as school education is not good. Therefore, the foundation must be strong to build a house. '
Sushma, who has been playing a pivotal role in Montessori education, has been teaching Montessori in 15 community schools in Sindhupalchowk in the role of the founder of Best Montessori and her husband Sanjay Finju Lamakos. The couple, who have spent more than 30 years in the education sector, have trained more than 10,000 people in Montessori education. The teachers who were trained by Lama's couple in 15 schools in Sindhupalchowk have now become model teachers in the area. Although there is an understanding that only the rich and wealthy will teach their children as soon as Montessori is mentioned, but that is wrong, says Sushma. He is aware of the right of children to get quality education even if they are rich or poor. Sushma said that she has paid attention to the mindset and mental structure of the children accordingly. "It is appropriate to give lifelong learning to children from an early age," she said. In fact, 75 percent of a person's brain develops within six years. We have a tradition of learning when we grow up and not caring about the little ones. That is wrong. Montessori is an 'awakening' education in itself. Here, with a heavy load of books, the young children are taken to a factory called Vidyalaya, where unemployed citizens, not knowledge, are produced. Therefore, the practice of buying and selling books by the boarding industry should be stopped. The government must pay attention to this. '
So what inspires Sushma and Sanjay to advance Montessori education in the distance is also the lessons of their lives. The couple, who saw the world, also moved forward in Nepal with a positive mindset of 'what would happen if it was done?' There were many challenges while working, but learning from them, they moved forward. Sanjay says, ‘The government has built 90 percent school buildings, built toilets, saying there is no quality education yet, saying it will improve education in the villages.
The methods of reading are old. It looks like a big building, from wards to villages and municipalities are working hard to build physical infrastructure, but the method of teaching and learning is the same old. If the profound importance of Montessori learning can be realized and taken across the country, the huge amount of money that the state is currently spending will be saved, for which we are ready to help the government in any way we can. If we only did business in this area, if you had so many things today, that would not be possible. We can say in front of you that we have worked and we have done it. We can tell you the truth and facts about the role of quality education for the development of the country. That is why we are telling you all these things. '
BEST MONTESHWARI has been conducting Montessori classes in 15 community schools, including 13 under the initiative of Bahbise Municipality in Sindhpalchowk and two under Bhotekoshi Municipality.
At present, the children studying in Montessori classes in these schools are provided with copies of all sizes, water bottles, steel tiffin baskets, all-in-one book and four-size photocopy paper for the whole year. Educational institutions across the country remained closed for a long time after the outbreak of Corona virus Covid-19 spread in Nepal. Even in such a difficult situation, Best Montessori has been continuing to teach through the e-portal in all its branch and franchise schools.
