Tashi shares how working in the public school for two years during her Teach for Nepal fellowship brought her close to the ground realities of our education system. Many students find subjects like Science and Maths difficult and one of the main reasons behind this is because these subjects are taught as individual chunks. Sadly, the problems in our life don’t come as particular subjects like in the examination. While solving real-world problems, one needs to constantly look through lenses of various dimensions and the skills to connect each  of those dimensions, which is entirely missing in our current compartmentalized education system.

Tashi believes integrating curriculums in a project-based approach is one of the best possible ways to help the students connect their knowledge with 21st-century life skills. Hence, she is currently doing her research in Janahit Secondary School, Dapcha, to find ways for contextualizing STEAM pedagogy through school gardening as Participatory Action Research under the NORHED-Rupantaran project. Besides her master’s, she is working as a Primary school teacher in Kathmandu World School and has had five years of experience as an educator: Teach for Nepal and Karkhana.
