A new start for the Malagiri School
We’ve just received some important news about the Malagiri School. For personal reasons, the headteacher, Yubaraj Rasaili, has left the school. Whilst his departure was not anticipated, we are pleased that his visit to the UK enabled so many colleagues, students, friends, and supporters to gain an understanding of the culture and ethos of the school. This knowledge and understanding will be invaluable as we develop a relationship with the newly appointed headteacher, Mr. Gautam Bahadur Bal.
Gautam is a ‘Bachelor in Education’, has a teaching license from the Government of Nepal, speaks good English and is a local resident of Malagiri. We are confident that the school will flourish under Gautam’s leadership and we look forward, very much, to sharing his professional journey with you.
Here are some recent images of the school that show the children helping to carry essential supplies of rice, lentils and oil to the kitchen and the staff holding a meeting in a rather unusual setting.

Thank you for sharing this inspiring post about the Malagiri School’s new start! It’s heartening to see the progress and positive changes happening in this remote Nepalese community. Your dedication to providing quality education is truly commendable.
Your post resonates with many of the discussions I recently heard at an education conference focused on the future of education. Many speakers emphasized the importance of adapting educational approaches to meet the unique needs of diverse communities, much like what you’re doing at the Malagiri School.
One key theme that emerged at the conference was the increasing importance of blending traditional teaching methods with innovative technologies. This approach seems particularly relevant to your situation, where you’re balancing local cultural needs with modern educational practices. Have you considered incorporating any digital learning tools to complement your classroom activities?
Another topic that garnered significant attention was the role of community engagement in education. Your description of the local support and involvement in the school’s development aligns perfectly with this trend. Many experts believe that this kind of community integration will be crucial for the future success of educational initiatives worldwide.
There was a strong emphasis on sustainability in education. Your efforts to create a self-sustaining school model through local teacher training and community involvement are right in line with these forward-thinking approaches.
I’m excited to see how the Malagiri School continues to evolve and adapt to meet the changing needs of its students and community. Your work is a shining example of the positive impact that dedicated educators can have on shaping the future of education. Keep up the fantastic work!
