Shree Balkalyan Secondary School, Shiddheswori


This is another beautiful school located on the top of a small hill of Shiddheswori VDC, Ward No. 7 of Salyan District. The school has nice buildings and a spacious playground. The school was established in 2041 BS and it is still a regular school. The school has an inclusive SMC, PTA and Child Club. The Mother Group is based on VDC which works for the protection of the rights of the children. There is Youth Club and very active VCPC at VDC level.
There are about 45 students in average in each class and the number of teacher is 10. Though the students-teachers ratio is well maintained, majority of the teachers are locally hired. The VCPC and Youth Club initiatives for collecting money from various resources have been managing remunerations for the teachers. The main source of the income is forest from which VCPC provides money for running the school. The name of the head teacher is Mr. Shreelal Mandal.
A large portion of student number is occupied by Chhetri followed by Dalits. There are no students from Janajati. Though the average test score is very low the school has 100% promotion rate at primary level. Some of the students have left the school and enrolled in newly opened private boarding school. The school has got supports from RtF program in various titles such as for the construction of building, for making desks and benches, for library, kit box, and various trainings. The school is declared child friendly and zone of peace.
