Testimonials Teachers participating in our programme describe the School

Enterprise Challenge as “a brilliant platform for students to

develop core 21st century skills”.

“Some of the students have actually started their own organic farming at their home.

Those students’ parents came to us and were really happy and content with the

enthusiasm their children have shown towards the project. I am so thankful that this

school have initiated such a great program to develop practical skill within the

students. I want to thank the School Enterprise Challenge for coming up with such a

great concept.”

Teacher, Arjun Boarding High School, Nepal

“The aspect which I personally have enjoyed the most is implementing the business

plan as it made me realize the surprises which we were not able to foresee while

planning. I also enjoyed distributing the work according to the potential of my team

members. While implementing our ideas we became trouble-shooters of unexpected

challenges. It is a very important life skill which I think should be acquired by all.”
