Project
Carnevali Technical School is located on the top floor of Dhrubatara Secondary School. Four classrooms were specially built and equipped to prepare 40 high school students from grades 9-12 for technical professions. Thus, there is a chemistry lab, a physics lab, a computer lab and a drawing room, which have been equipped with furniture, projectors and digital boards. This allows technical classes to be offered in addition to the standard Nepali, math and English classes.
Civil engineering was the first planned subject area with, among other things, software and computer classes, technical drawing and surveying, as well as cost estimation. Students have the chance to learn how to handle different building materials (wood, stone, concrete), but also how to lay water pipes or build a road.
The first school year with 32 students enrolled was financed by the Carnevali Foundation, after that the community is taking over any follow-up costs. With each successful year, more subjects (and students) are to be added – for example, for the second year computer science was added.
Sustainability Claimer
Due to the special focus on sustainability, the teachers’ salaries as well as the teaching material at the schools we support are normally paid by the government.
Under special circumstances, such as in very remote schools or in the case of marginalised ethnic groups, these costs are covered by Chay Ya for one year.
