Pramila Tamang, from Mankha, Sindhupalchowk, has spent her time turning research into meaningful insights that help shape her community. During her year as a researcher at Tuki Sangh, she worked closely on data collection, gathering crucial information on school-going children, including those who had dropped out, graduated, transferred, or were differently abled. Her efforts contributed to a deeper understanding of educational trends in Sindhupalchowk, helping to inform initiatives aimed at improving student retention and support systems. In addition to her research work, Pramila has been trained by Teach Ministry Nepal in primary-level teaching and has taught social studies and mathematics at Gatesamane Thimi Church, showcasing her passion for education and her commitment to making a difference in the lives of students.

Pramila’s journey is deeply rooted in her personal experiences and background. Growing up, she initially struggled with mathematics but overcame these challenges with the help of supportive teachers who used innovative teaching methods. This experience not only improved her academic performance but also ignited her passion for math. She fondly remembers an English teacher who went above and beyond to provide resources like audio recorders, practice books, and vocabulary exercises, offering her an education comparable to private school standards despite attending a government school. Inspired by this teacher’s dedication, Pramila aims to bring the same energy and innovative teaching methods into her own classroom.

Pramila has faced her share of challenges, including personal loss and hardship. However, with the support of her family, she overcame this difficult time and emerged stronger. This experience has deepened her empathy and strengthened her resolve to help others, particularly children facing their own struggles. It has also reinforced her commitment to pursuing her teaching dreams and making a positive impact on the lives of her students.

Motivated by her rural background and the challenges her parents faced when migrating to the city for better education opportunities, Pramila has a strong desire to teach in rural schools. She dreams of creating an environment where children do not need to leave their villages for quality education. Her vision is to provide students with the tools and support they need to succeed, ensuring they can thrive in their own communities. She envisions a future where, after 10 years of teaching, she will see the fruits of her labor in the form of her students’ beautiful smiles, dreams, discipline, and growth into good human beings.
