USYC Alumni Led Engagement Session III on 21st May 2026 became a deeply inspiring and reflective space as Mr. Avinash Jha shared his journey and experiences working with UWS (United World Schools), an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving education.
Through powerful stories from the field, he highlighted the realities faced in rural communities where school enrollment was increasing, yet dropout rates before Grade 8 remained alarmingly high. The session explored the challenges of limited awareness among parents, irregular teaching practices, unplanned lessons, and the absence of long-term educational vision among children, whose dreams often remained limited to migration or survival-based professions.
Beginning with the establishment of schools in Sankhuwasabha, Gulmi, and Taplejung, UWS focused on strengthening primary education through teacher training, classroom observation, and providing essential learning materials such as uniforms, bags, and educational support for students. Participants gained insight into how communities, educators, and local stakeholders were gradually empowered to take ownership of schools, with eventual handover to local governments alongside continued quarterly follow-ups and reviews.
The interactive discussions sparked curiosity among council members around the selection process, implementation challenges, and long-term sustainability of such initiatives. Guided by the vision to help every child โread, write, count, and dream,โ the session became a reminder of how one idea, driven by purpose and persistence, can create meaningful impact at the community level.
A session that not only shared the realities of grassroots educational transformation, but also left the room filled with motivation, reflection, and a renewed belief in the power of youth-led change.
