Street Law, Inc., UNICEF, and Nepal’s Ministry of Education and Sport are working together to integrate peace, human rights, and civic education into the country’s formal and non-formal curriculum.
September 4, 2008 | Silver Spring, MD
Street Law staffers Mary C. Larkin and Judith Zimmer are training educators from the Nepali government and community groups in Katmandu, Nepal, September 4–19, 2008.
This training is a result of a partnership with UNICEF, which contracted with Street Law, Inc. to work with Nepal’s Ministry of Education and Sport to integrate peace, human rights, and civic education into the country’s formal and non-formal curriculum.
Mary and Judith will assist writing teams from the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) to produce lessons for grades 5–8. The CDC is the arm of the Ministry of Education and Sport responsible for developing educational materials for Nepal. In the near future, Street Law and the CDC will develop lessons for secondary and primary schools.
Mary and Judith will also train leaders from community-based literacy groups and open schooling programs in lesson implementation. These leaders will then begin field testing the curriculum with their constituencies.
