Divided into three parts, it starts with a week of ‘post-earthquake focused lessons on preventative mental health and reintegration of students into normal school activities, a year long calendar of continuing events that help children move forward from the quake, and a multi-year intervention in a limited geographical area to support teachers and schools with teacher coaching and rebuilding’.
Schools will resume classes from May 30, a little over a month after the earthquake first hit Nepal on April 25. The lessons are expected to help students deal with the anxieties of returning to their school for the first time after the traumatic experience. With tremors continuing, schoolchildren are still vulnerable.

Pavitra Gautam, CEO of Karkhana, informs that currently 80 trainers from Karkhana, Rato Bangala as well as independent volunteers are working in this project.
“In the coming week, we will join hands with PABSON and NPABSON to train around 2,400 teachers so that we can reach upto 80,000 students. We know that teachers are also suffering from trauma and they need to feel safe at work. They will also be trained on handling their class. We believe that students should go back to their normal routines as soon as possible but before that, it’s important to address what’s happened. So we have prepared a five-day transitional plan for teachers which they can use in the classroom,” he says.
