Gandaki Higher Secondary Boarding School, Pokhara, emerged the best school outside the Kathmandu valley and the topper in the Western Region, while Merryland Higher Secondary School of Biratnagar is the topper in the Eastern Region, and Gorkha International Public Higher Secondary School emerged the topper in the Mid-Western Region. A total of 23 Higher Secondary Schools have been placed in the top ten across Nepal.<br /> <br /> New Business Age group, which is the fastest growing business media of Nepal, with Nepali daily Aarthik Abhiyan, English monthly New Business Age, and English news-weekly The Corporate, has announced the most comprehensive multi-parameter rating-ranking-awards for the best performing Higher Secondary (Plus 2) Schools of Nepal. The Everest Bank sponsored awards have been backed by co-sponsors like Hero Motor Cycle, CAI, Prime CA, hospitality partner Himalaya Hotel, and media partners Himalaya TV, Headlines & Music FM radio.<br /> <br /> At a ceremony held on June 19, Wednesday, at Hotel Himalaya Chief Secretary of Nepal Government Leela Mani Poudyal and other Dignitaries distributed the awards. The ranking was based on the voluntary disclosure of various data related to more than 20 criteria by the interested leading HS schools of Nepal on multiple parameters and also the HS Board results of the schools in the last two years (2068 and 2069 BS).<br /> <br /> Most such evaluations by various media are usually based on academic results of HS Board exams. However, such evaluation does not do justice to the holistic growth of the students, especially with regards to sports, cultural activities, social work, prizes and achievements, development measures of weak students, and preparations for higher professional courses. The various parameters considered were HS academic results of two years with 20 points, infra-structure with 10 points (campus size and ownership, rooms, computer and science labs, etc), co-curricular activities, ECA, sports and social work together 20 points, faculty numbers and qualification, library and teaching tools etc together 20 points, preparation for and success in higher professional courses after HS with 10 points, and various other smaller parameters together being 20 points (like, integrating parents in the system, collaborations at national and international levels, etc).<br /> <br /> The entire project, close to the heart of the NewBiz Chairman Madan Lamsal, has been conducted over two months by a team led by Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury, former Dean of Symbiosis International University, Pune, India. The Jury included eminent persons like senior educationists Prof Dinesh Chapagain and Dr Bijay KC, younger educationists like Narottam Aryal (Executive Director, King’s College), Roshee Lamichchane, (Faculty, KCM), eminent bankers like PK Mohapatra (CEO, Everest Bank), Sujit Mundul (Director, Standard Chartered bank Nepal), corporate professionals like Suman Shakya (CEO, Digitainment), Chang Agarwal (Director, Himalaya TV), Sajita Joshi (Product Manager, Asian Pharmaceuticals).<br /> <br /> The initiative is designed to contribute to the understanding and practice of holistic multi-dimensional school education at plus 2 level, and not just focus on academic results of HS exams, and it also balances the inputs of the education system with the output in various forms of marks, awards, social work, higher professional admission, etc.<br /> <br /> Several members of the jury also made useful suggestions for future evaluations. Suggestions made by jury members include that along with number and qualification of teachers, the aspect of quality of teaching also needs to be quantified. Further, along with activities and awards of the school, also the aspects of discipline and culture of the school need to be incorporated. Further, along with success in engineering, medical and management admissions, also success in social sciences admissions in higher education should be considered. Further, along with batch-size, admission criteria and applicants for admission need to be taken into the ambit of rating and ranking of schools. “These and other issues shall be incorporated in the next similar evaluation in 2014,” noted Prof Chowdhury.<br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>OVERALL RESULTS: </strong><br /> <br /> 23 Schools Shared the Top 10 Positions<br /> <br /> 1.

What is your view? </strong></p> <p> I disagree with the statement. Some private institutions activities are responsible for the criticism received by the entire sector. Every institution has to practice what they have agreed to while receiving affiliation from different Boards. All Institutions have to be healthy competitors to reduce criticism regarding the commercialization. There should be categorization in private institution for the private sector to be strong. </p> <p> <strong>How do you assess higher secondary education in Nepal? </strong></p> <p> Higher Secondary education Board (HSEB) should be more transparent and strict to provide quality education. HSEB has to monitor all the colleges time and again. HSEB should vie for providing quality education rather than increasing the number of colleges. Since its establishment, HSEB has provided the affiliations but its monitoring is very weak.</p> <p> <strong>What are the top three priorities of your college to improve education sector? </strong></p> <p> We have been different than others in providing quality education. Our college is an ISO 9001-2008 certified college and we have trained professionals and we carry out regular activities such as presentation classes and civic education classes. If I have to prioritize three things, then they would be presentation classes, research and social works for students. </p> <p> <strong>What are your suggestions for the overall improvement of higher education? </strong></p> <p> HSEB and TU should be stricter in their activities. Exams and other educational activities should be carried out on time. It appears that these two authorities have been very traditional. They should introduce programmmes and trainings for the betterment of students so that Nepali students can compete with the global market. </p> <p> <strong>What are unique features of your college? </strong></p> <p> We never say that we are the best, but what we claim is we don’t compromise on the quality of education. We are here to help students achieve success in their lives. In the beginning, we only had 136 students, but today we have a total of 1600 students in our college. We firmly believe that teaching and research should go hand in hand, and we try to do the same. We conduct regular presentation classes and make our students participate in social activities. I think our students can compete with those of any other colleges, and will prove successful in the international arena as well.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Dr Rajendra KC is the Principal at Southwestern State College.

More than 1.9 million people have benefitted from our work. We have a wide portfolio in Nepal as we have been working in number of projects related to child rights, good governance, health, livelihood, nutrition, disaster risk reduction and HIV/AIDs. </p> <p> <strong>Could you give some examples of how Save the Children has been helping Nepali children? </strong></p> <p> We basically focus on primary education. One of the main things we do is encourage schools to do away with corporal punishment. In one of the schools in Sindhupalchowk where we have been working for last 20 years, the principal said that some students were not coming to class regularly. There were also instances of parents not sending their children to school. However, after corporal punishment was completely done away with, 30 percent more children started coming to school regularly. </p> <p> Similarly, we have been working with more than 400 schools in Kapilbastu and Pyuthan, where we have established Early Childhood Development Centres. The centres are designed to prepare children for primary education by working on their social, physical and mental skills. </p> <p> <strong>Save the Children has been working together with the private sector. How successful has the partnership been? </strong></p> <p> Yes, we believe that the private sector should also play its part in social development efforts. We take support from a number of private sector companies such as Ncell and Yeti Airlines. Last year alone, the private sector of Nepal contributed Rs 50 million for projects such as to construct school buildings, classrooms, libraries, labs and other facilities. We are happy that local as well as big companies are showing interest. Ncell and Yeti Airlines have contributed to our programmes in 17 different schools.</p> <p> <strong>How do you ensure that the services reach the targeted group? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children in Nepal is working with 150 different local partners. We have done a number of things to ensure that our assistance reaches the right people. For example, we have increased the number of staff members in the districts. They provide guidance to our local partners. Moreover, we are also working on putting up a country-wide monitoring system to allow communities to give us feedback. For example, during the second half of this year, we will be putting up banners in different communities of the country explaining the benefits locals can reap from our projects. We are also trying to set up a system that people can use to directly reach us with their feedback. All this is part of our efforts to ensure accountability. </p> <p> <strong>Could you share with us one of the best experiences the INGO has had working with Nepali bureaucrats? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children has lots of success stories working with government officials. We are constantly working with the government to develop innovative ideas and programmes. For example, we are working with the Ministry of Health to develop community-based new born health packages.</p> <p> <strong>How much money does Save the Children invest in Nepal each year? </strong></p> <p> Save The Children at the moment spends around $31 million dollar each year. In addition to that we are investing $ 5 million on food aid from the World food Programme.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'David Wright is the country director of Save the Children, Nepal and Bhutan.

Gandaki Higher Secondary Boarding School, Pokhara, emerged the best school outside the Kathmandu valley and the topper in the Western Region, while Merryland Higher Secondary School of Biratnagar is the topper in the Eastern Region, and Gorkha International Public Higher Secondary School emerged the topper in the Mid-Western Region. A total of 23 Higher Secondary Schools have been placed in the top ten across Nepal.<br /> <br /> New Business Age group, which is the fastest growing business media of Nepal, with Nepali daily Aarthik Abhiyan, English monthly New Business Age, and English news-weekly The Corporate, has announced the most comprehensive multi-parameter rating-ranking-awards for the best performing Higher Secondary (Plus 2) Schools of Nepal. The Everest Bank sponsored awards have been backed by co-sponsors like Hero Motor Cycle, CAI, Prime CA, hospitality partner Himalaya Hotel, and media partners Himalaya TV, Headlines & Music FM radio.<br /> <br /> At a ceremony held on June 19, Wednesday, at Hotel Himalaya Chief Secretary of Nepal Government Leela Mani Poudyal and other Dignitaries distributed the awards. The ranking was based on the voluntary disclosure of various data related to more than 20 criteria by the interested leading HS schools of Nepal on multiple parameters and also the HS Board results of the schools in the last two years (2068 and 2069 BS).<br /> <br /> Most such evaluations by various media are usually based on academic results of HS Board exams. However, such evaluation does not do justice to the holistic growth of the students, especially with regards to sports, cultural activities, social work, prizes and achievements, development measures of weak students, and preparations for higher professional courses. The various parameters considered were HS academic results of two years with 20 points, infra-structure with 10 points (campus size and ownership, rooms, computer and science labs, etc), co-curricular activities, ECA, sports and social work together 20 points, faculty numbers and qualification, library and teaching tools etc together 20 points, preparation for and success in higher professional courses after HS with 10 points, and various other smaller parameters together being 20 points (like, integrating parents in the system, collaborations at national and international levels, etc).<br /> <br /> The entire project, close to the heart of the NewBiz Chairman Madan Lamsal, has been conducted over two months by a team led by Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury, former Dean of Symbiosis International University, Pune, India. The Jury included eminent persons like senior educationists Prof Dinesh Chapagain and Dr Bijay KC, younger educationists like Narottam Aryal (Executive Director, King’s College), Roshee Lamichchane, (Faculty, KCM), eminent bankers like PK Mohapatra (CEO, Everest Bank), Sujit Mundul (Director, Standard Chartered bank Nepal), corporate professionals like Suman Shakya (CEO, Digitainment), Chang Agarwal (Director, Himalaya TV), Sajita Joshi (Product Manager, Asian Pharmaceuticals).<br /> <br /> The initiative is designed to contribute to the understanding and practice of holistic multi-dimensional school education at plus 2 level, and not just focus on academic results of HS exams, and it also balances the inputs of the education system with the output in various forms of marks, awards, social work, higher professional admission, etc.<br /> <br /> Several members of the jury also made useful suggestions for future evaluations. Suggestions made by jury members include that along with number and qualification of teachers, the aspect of quality of teaching also needs to be quantified. Further, along with activities and awards of the school, also the aspects of discipline and culture of the school need to be incorporated. Further, along with success in engineering, medical and management admissions, also success in social sciences admissions in higher education should be considered. Further, along with batch-size, admission criteria and applicants for admission need to be taken into the ambit of rating and ranking of schools. “These and other issues shall be incorporated in the next similar evaluation in 2014,” noted Prof Chowdhury.<br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>OVERALL RESULTS: </strong><br /> <br /> 23 Schools Shared the Top 10 Positions<br /> <br /> 1.

What is your view? </strong></p> <p> I disagree with the statement. Some private institutions activities are responsible for the criticism received by the entire sector. Every institution has to practice what they have agreed to while receiving affiliation from different Boards. All Institutions have to be healthy competitors to reduce criticism regarding the commercialization. There should be categorization in private institution for the private sector to be strong. </p> <p> <strong>How do you assess higher secondary education in Nepal? </strong></p> <p> Higher Secondary education Board (HSEB) should be more transparent and strict to provide quality education. HSEB has to monitor all the colleges time and again. HSEB should vie for providing quality education rather than increasing the number of colleges. Since its establishment, HSEB has provided the affiliations but its monitoring is very weak.</p> <p> <strong>What are the top three priorities of your college to improve education sector? </strong></p> <p> We have been different than others in providing quality education. Our college is an ISO 9001-2008 certified college and we have trained professionals and we carry out regular activities such as presentation classes and civic education classes. If I have to prioritize three things, then they would be presentation classes, research and social works for students. </p> <p> <strong>What are your suggestions for the overall improvement of higher education? </strong></p> <p> HSEB and TU should be stricter in their activities. Exams and other educational activities should be carried out on time. It appears that these two authorities have been very traditional. They should introduce programmmes and trainings for the betterment of students so that Nepali students can compete with the global market. </p> <p> <strong>What are unique features of your college? </strong></p> <p> We never say that we are the best, but what we claim is we don’t compromise on the quality of education. We are here to help students achieve success in their lives. In the beginning, we only had 136 students, but today we have a total of 1600 students in our college. We firmly believe that teaching and research should go hand in hand, and we try to do the same. We conduct regular presentation classes and make our students participate in social activities. I think our students can compete with those of any other colleges, and will prove successful in the international arena as well.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Dr Rajendra KC is the Principal at Southwestern State College.

More than 1.9 million people have benefitted from our work. We have a wide portfolio in Nepal as we have been working in number of projects related to child rights, good governance, health, livelihood, nutrition, disaster risk reduction and HIV/AIDs. </p> <p> <strong>Could you give some examples of how Save the Children has been helping Nepali children? </strong></p> <p> We basically focus on primary education. One of the main things we do is encourage schools to do away with corporal punishment. In one of the schools in Sindhupalchowk where we have been working for last 20 years, the principal said that some students were not coming to class regularly. There were also instances of parents not sending their children to school. However, after corporal punishment was completely done away with, 30 percent more children started coming to school regularly. </p> <p> Similarly, we have been working with more than 400 schools in Kapilbastu and Pyuthan, where we have established Early Childhood Development Centres. The centres are designed to prepare children for primary education by working on their social, physical and mental skills. </p> <p> <strong>Save the Children has been working together with the private sector. How successful has the partnership been? </strong></p> <p> Yes, we believe that the private sector should also play its part in social development efforts. We take support from a number of private sector companies such as Ncell and Yeti Airlines. Last year alone, the private sector of Nepal contributed Rs 50 million for projects such as to construct school buildings, classrooms, libraries, labs and other facilities. We are happy that local as well as big companies are showing interest. Ncell and Yeti Airlines have contributed to our programmes in 17 different schools.</p> <p> <strong>How do you ensure that the services reach the targeted group? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children in Nepal is working with 150 different local partners. We have done a number of things to ensure that our assistance reaches the right people. For example, we have increased the number of staff members in the districts. They provide guidance to our local partners. Moreover, we are also working on putting up a country-wide monitoring system to allow communities to give us feedback. For example, during the second half of this year, we will be putting up banners in different communities of the country explaining the benefits locals can reap from our projects. We are also trying to set up a system that people can use to directly reach us with their feedback. All this is part of our efforts to ensure accountability. </p> <p> <strong>Could you share with us one of the best experiences the INGO has had working with Nepali bureaucrats? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children has lots of success stories working with government officials. We are constantly working with the government to develop innovative ideas and programmes.

Gandaki Higher Secondary Boarding School, Pokhara, emerged the best school outside the Kathmandu valley and the topper in the Western Region, while Merryland Higher Secondary School of Biratnagar is the topper in the Eastern Region, and Gorkha International Public Higher Secondary School emerged the topper in the Mid-Western Region. A total of 23 Higher Secondary Schools have been placed in the top ten across Nepal.<br /> <br /> New Business Age group, which is the fastest growing business media of Nepal, with Nepali daily Aarthik Abhiyan, English monthly New Business Age, and English news-weekly The Corporate, has announced the most comprehensive multi-parameter rating-ranking-awards for the best performing Higher Secondary (Plus 2) Schools of Nepal. The Everest Bank sponsored awards have been backed by co-sponsors like Hero Motor Cycle, CAI, Prime CA, hospitality partner Himalaya Hotel, and media partners Himalaya TV, Headlines & Music FM radio.<br /> <br /> At a ceremony held on June 19, Wednesday, at Hotel Himalaya Chief Secretary of Nepal Government Leela Mani Poudyal and other Dignitaries distributed the awards. The ranking was based on the voluntary disclosure of various data related to more than 20 criteria by the interested leading HS schools of Nepal on multiple parameters and also the HS Board results of the schools in the last two years (2068 and 2069 BS).<br /> <br /> Most such evaluations by various media are usually based on academic results of HS Board exams. However, such evaluation does not do justice to the holistic growth of the students, especially with regards to sports, cultural activities, social work, prizes and achievements, development measures of weak students, and preparations for higher professional courses. The various parameters considered were HS academic results of two years with 20 points, infra-structure with 10 points (campus size and ownership, rooms, computer and science labs, etc), co-curricular activities, ECA, sports and social work together 20 points, faculty numbers and qualification, library and teaching tools etc together 20 points, preparation for and success in higher professional courses after HS with 10 points, and various other smaller parameters together being 20 points (like, integrating parents in the system, collaborations at national and international levels, etc).<br /> <br /> The entire project, close to the heart of the NewBiz Chairman Madan Lamsal, has been conducted over two months by a team led by Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury, former Dean of Symbiosis International University, Pune, India. The Jury included eminent persons like senior educationists Prof Dinesh Chapagain and Dr Bijay KC, younger educationists like Narottam Aryal (Executive Director, King’s College), Roshee Lamichchane, (Faculty, KCM), eminent bankers like PK Mohapatra (CEO, Everest Bank), Sujit Mundul (Director, Standard Chartered bank Nepal), corporate professionals like Suman Shakya (CEO, Digitainment), Chang Agarwal (Director, Himalaya TV), Sajita Joshi (Product Manager, Asian Pharmaceuticals).<br /> <br /> The initiative is designed to contribute to the understanding and practice of holistic multi-dimensional school education at plus 2 level, and not just focus on academic results of HS exams, and it also balances the inputs of the education system with the output in various forms of marks, awards, social work, higher professional admission, etc.<br /> <br /> Several members of the jury also made useful suggestions for future evaluations. Suggestions made by jury members include that along with number and qualification of teachers, the aspect of quality of teaching also needs to be quantified. Further, along with activities and awards of the school, also the aspects of discipline and culture of the school need to be incorporated. Further, along with success in engineering, medical and management admissions, also success in social sciences admissions in higher education should be considered. Further, along with batch-size, admission criteria and applicants for admission need to be taken into the ambit of rating and ranking of schools. “These and other issues shall be incorporated in the next similar evaluation in 2014,” noted Prof Chowdhury.<br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>OVERALL RESULTS: </strong><br /> <br /> 23 Schools Shared the Top 10 Positions<br /> <br /> 1.

The national carrier of the United Arab Emirates achieved an eight per cent increase in Q2 2013 passenger revenues, generating US $921 million (2012: US $855 million), while passenger revenues for the first half of 2013 reached US $1.8 billion (2012: $1.6 billion), up by 13 per cent. <br /> <br /> Revenue generated by codeshare and equity alliance airline partners was US $184 million in Q2 2013. This was 25 per cent above the US $147 million turnover in the same period of 2012. Partnership revenue comprised 20 per cent of the airline’s total passenger revenue in both Q2 and the first half of 2013. The President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, James Hogan, said the company’s Q2 and half year results were achieved despite the continuation of unsteady economic and geopolitical factors, with air fare yields slightly lower for the quarter, compressed by strong competitive capacity growth and resultant price competition.<br /> <br /> “Despite the tough global trading climate, we have still achieved record, double digit growth in both Q2 and the first half of 2013,” Hogan said. Etihad Cargo continued to achieve the strongest growth in the company, with 112,963tons uplifted in Q2 2013 (2012: 89,470 tons) and 215,124 tons in the first half of 2013 (2012: 174,622 tons). This reflected a massive 26 per cent growth in Q2 and 23 per cent growth for the first half of 2013. <br /> <br /> The growth in cargo volumes was underpinned by the delivery in Q2 of three new freighter aircraft – one Airbus A330-200F, one Boeing 777-200F and the company’s first Boeing 747-8F, which was wet leased from Atlas Air – taking the cargo fleet to nine. Cargo performance was further boosted by increased passenger services, providing more under-floor freight capacity.<br /> </p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-10', 'modified' => '2013-07-15', 'keywords' => 'new business age biz news news & articles, biz news news & articles from new business age nepal, biz news headlines from nepal, current and latest biz news news from nepal, economic news from nepal, nepali biz news economic news and events, ongoing biz news news of nepal', 'description' => 'Etihad Airways announced its strongest second quarter and half-year financial performances on record, reflecting continued solid growth in its airline alliance strategy and global cargo operations.

What is your view? </strong></p> <p> I disagree with the statement. Some private institutions activities are responsible for the criticism received by the entire sector. Every institution has to practice what they have agreed to while receiving affiliation from different Boards. All Institutions have to be healthy competitors to reduce criticism regarding the commercialization. There should be categorization in private institution for the private sector to be strong. </p> <p> <strong>How do you assess higher secondary education in Nepal? </strong></p> <p> Higher Secondary education Board (HSEB) should be more transparent and strict to provide quality education. HSEB has to monitor all the colleges time and again. HSEB should vie for providing quality education rather than increasing the number of colleges. Since its establishment, HSEB has provided the affiliations but its monitoring is very weak.</p> <p> <strong>What are the top three priorities of your college to improve education sector? </strong></p> <p> We have been different than others in providing quality education. Our college is an ISO 9001-2008 certified college and we have trained professionals and we carry out regular activities such as presentation classes and civic education classes. If I have to prioritize three things, then they would be presentation classes, research and social works for students. </p> <p> <strong>What are your suggestions for the overall improvement of higher education? </strong></p> <p> HSEB and TU should be stricter in their activities. Exams and other educational activities should be carried out on time. It appears that these two authorities have been very traditional. They should introduce programmmes and trainings for the betterment of students so that Nepali students can compete with the global market. </p> <p> <strong>What are unique features of your college? </strong></p> <p> We never say that we are the best, but what we claim is we don’t compromise on the quality of education. We are here to help students achieve success in their lives. In the beginning, we only had 136 students, but today we have a total of 1600 students in our college. We firmly believe that teaching and research should go hand in hand, and we try to do the same. We conduct regular presentation classes and make our students participate in social activities. I think our students can compete with those of any other colleges, and will prove successful in the international arena as well.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Dr Rajendra KC is the Principal at Southwestern State College.

More than 1.9 million people have benefitted from our work. We have a wide portfolio in Nepal as we have been working in number of projects related to child rights, good governance, health, livelihood, nutrition, disaster risk reduction and HIV/AIDs. </p> <p> <strong>Could you give some examples of how Save the Children has been helping Nepali children? </strong></p> <p> We basically focus on primary education. One of the main things we do is encourage schools to do away with corporal punishment. In one of the schools in Sindhupalchowk where we have been working for last 20 years, the principal said that some students were not coming to class regularly. There were also instances of parents not sending their children to school. However, after corporal punishment was completely done away with, 30 percent more children started coming to school regularly. </p> <p> Similarly, we have been working with more than 400 schools in Kapilbastu and Pyuthan, where we have established Early Childhood Development Centres. The centres are designed to prepare children for primary education by working on their social, physical and mental skills. </p> <p> <strong>Save the Children has been working together with the private sector. How successful has the partnership been? </strong></p> <p> Yes, we believe that the private sector should also play its part in social development efforts. We take support from a number of private sector companies such as Ncell and Yeti Airlines. Last year alone, the private sector of Nepal contributed Rs 50 million for projects such as to construct school buildings, classrooms, libraries, labs and other facilities. We are happy that local as well as big companies are showing interest. Ncell and Yeti Airlines have contributed to our programmes in 17 different schools.</p> <p> <strong>How do you ensure that the services reach the targeted group? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children in Nepal is working with 150 different local partners. We have done a number of things to ensure that our assistance reaches the right people. For example, we have increased the number of staff members in the districts. They provide guidance to our local partners. Moreover, we are also working on putting up a country-wide monitoring system to allow communities to give us feedback. For example, during the second half of this year, we will be putting up banners in different communities of the country explaining the benefits locals can reap from our projects. We are also trying to set up a system that people can use to directly reach us with their feedback. All this is part of our efforts to ensure accountability. </p> <p> <strong>Could you share with us one of the best experiences the INGO has had working with Nepali bureaucrats? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children has lots of success stories working with government officials. We are constantly working with the government to develop innovative ideas and programmes. For example, we are working with the Ministry of Health to develop community-based new born health packages.</p> <p> <strong>How much money does Save the Children invest in Nepal each year? </strong></p> <p> Save The Children at the moment spends around $31 million dollar each year. In addition to that we are investing $ 5 million on food aid from the World food Programme.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'David Wright is the country director of Save the Children, Nepal and Bhutan.

Gandaki Higher Secondary Boarding School, Pokhara, emerged the best school outside the Kathmandu valley and the topper in the Western Region, while Merryland Higher Secondary School of Biratnagar is the topper in the Eastern Region, and Gorkha International Public Higher Secondary School emerged the topper in the Mid-Western Region. A total of 23 Higher Secondary Schools have been placed in the top ten across Nepal.<br /> <br /> New Business Age group, which is the fastest growing business media of Nepal, with Nepali daily Aarthik Abhiyan, English monthly New Business Age, and English news-weekly The Corporate, has announced the most comprehensive multi-parameter rating-ranking-awards for the best performing Higher Secondary (Plus 2) Schools of Nepal. The Everest Bank sponsored awards have been backed by co-sponsors like Hero Motor Cycle, CAI, Prime CA, hospitality partner Himalaya Hotel, and media partners Himalaya TV, Headlines & Music FM radio.<br /> <br /> At a ceremony held on June 19, Wednesday, at Hotel Himalaya Chief Secretary of Nepal Government Leela Mani Poudyal and other Dignitaries distributed the awards. The ranking was based on the voluntary disclosure of various data related to more than 20 criteria by the interested leading HS schools of Nepal on multiple parameters and also the HS Board results of the schools in the last two years (2068 and 2069 BS).<br /> <br /> Most such evaluations by various media are usually based on academic results of HS Board exams. However, such evaluation does not do justice to the holistic growth of the students, especially with regards to sports, cultural activities, social work, prizes and achievements, development measures of weak students, and preparations for higher professional courses. The various parameters considered were HS academic results of two years with 20 points, infra-structure with 10 points (campus size and ownership, rooms, computer and science labs, etc), co-curricular activities, ECA, sports and social work together 20 points, faculty numbers and qualification, library and teaching tools etc together 20 points, preparation for and success in higher professional courses after HS with 10 points, and various other smaller parameters together being 20 points (like, integrating parents in the system, collaborations at national and international levels, etc).<br /> <br /> The entire project, close to the heart of the NewBiz Chairman Madan Lamsal, has been conducted over two months by a team led by Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury, former Dean of Symbiosis International University, Pune, India. The Jury included eminent persons like senior educationists Prof Dinesh Chapagain and Dr Bijay KC, younger educationists like Narottam Aryal (Executive Director, King’s College), Roshee Lamichchane, (Faculty, KCM), eminent bankers like PK Mohapatra (CEO, Everest Bank), Sujit Mundul (Director, Standard Chartered bank Nepal), corporate professionals like Suman Shakya (CEO, Digitainment), Chang Agarwal (Director, Himalaya TV), Sajita Joshi (Product Manager, Asian Pharmaceuticals).<br /> <br /> The initiative is designed to contribute to the understanding and practice of holistic multi-dimensional school education at plus 2 level, and not just focus on academic results of HS exams, and it also balances the inputs of the education system with the output in various forms of marks, awards, social work, higher professional admission, etc.<br /> <br /> Several members of the jury also made useful suggestions for future evaluations. Suggestions made by jury members include that along with number and qualification of teachers, the aspect of quality of teaching also needs to be quantified. Further, along with activities and awards of the school, also the aspects of discipline and culture of the school need to be incorporated. Further, along with success in engineering, medical and management admissions, also success in social sciences admissions in higher education should be considered. Further, along with batch-size, admission criteria and applicants for admission need to be taken into the ambit of rating and ranking of schools. “These and other issues shall be incorporated in the next similar evaluation in 2014,” noted Prof Chowdhury.<br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>OVERALL RESULTS: </strong><br /> <br /> 23 Schools Shared the Top 10 Positions<br /> <br /> 1.

The national carrier of the United Arab Emirates achieved an eight per cent increase in Q2 2013 passenger revenues, generating US $921 million (2012: US $855 million), while passenger revenues for the first half of 2013 reached US $1.8 billion (2012: $1.6 billion), up by 13 per cent. <br /> <br /> Revenue generated by codeshare and equity alliance airline partners was US $184 million in Q2 2013. This was 25 per cent above the US $147 million turnover in the same period of 2012. Partnership revenue comprised 20 per cent of the airline’s total passenger revenue in both Q2 and the first half of 2013. The President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, James Hogan, said the company’s Q2 and half year results were achieved despite the continuation of unsteady economic and geopolitical factors, with air fare yields slightly lower for the quarter, compressed by strong competitive capacity growth and resultant price competition.<br /> <br /> “Despite the tough global trading climate, we have still achieved record, double digit growth in both Q2 and the first half of 2013,” Hogan said. Etihad Cargo continued to achieve the strongest growth in the company, with 112,963tons uplifted in Q2 2013 (2012: 89,470 tons) and 215,124 tons in the first half of 2013 (2012: 174,622 tons). This reflected a massive 26 per cent growth in Q2 and 23 per cent growth for the first half of 2013. <br /> <br /> The growth in cargo volumes was underpinned by the delivery in Q2 of three new freighter aircraft – one Airbus A330-200F, one Boeing 777-200F and the company’s first Boeing 747-8F, which was wet leased from Atlas Air – taking the cargo fleet to nine. Cargo performance was further boosted by increased passenger services, providing more under-floor freight capacity.<br /> </p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-10', 'modified' => '2013-07-15', 'keywords' => 'new business age biz news news & articles, biz news news & articles from new business age nepal, biz news headlines from nepal, current and latest biz news news from nepal, economic news from nepal, nepali biz news economic news and events, ongoing biz news news of nepal', 'description' => 'Etihad Airways announced its strongest second quarter and half-year financial performances on record, reflecting continued solid growth in its airline alliance strategy and global cargo operations.

What is your view? </strong></p> <p> I disagree with the statement. Some private institutions activities are responsible for the criticism received by the entire sector. Every institution has to practice what they have agreed to while receiving affiliation from different Boards. All Institutions have to be healthy competitors to reduce criticism regarding the commercialization. There should be categorization in private institution for the private sector to be strong. </p> <p> <strong>How do you assess higher secondary education in Nepal? </strong></p> <p> Higher Secondary education Board (HSEB) should be more transparent and strict to provide quality education. HSEB has to monitor all the colleges time and again. HSEB should vie for providing quality education rather than increasing the number of colleges. Since its establishment, HSEB has provided the affiliations but its monitoring is very weak.</p> <p> <strong>What are the top three priorities of your college to improve education sector? </strong></p> <p> We have been different than others in providing quality education. Our college is an ISO 9001-2008 certified college and we have trained professionals and we carry out regular activities such as presentation classes and civic education classes. If I have to prioritize three things, then they would be presentation classes, research and social works for students. </p> <p> <strong>What are your suggestions for the overall improvement of higher education? </strong></p> <p> HSEB and TU should be stricter in their activities. Exams and other educational activities should be carried out on time. It appears that these two authorities have been very traditional. They should introduce programmmes and trainings for the betterment of students so that Nepali students can compete with the global market. </p> <p> <strong>What are unique features of your college? </strong></p> <p> We never say that we are the best, but what we claim is we don’t compromise on the quality of education. We are here to help students achieve success in their lives. In the beginning, we only had 136 students, but today we have a total of 1600 students in our college. We firmly believe that teaching and research should go hand in hand, and we try to do the same. We conduct regular presentation classes and make our students participate in social activities. I think our students can compete with those of any other colleges, and will prove successful in the international arena as well.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Dr Rajendra KC is the Principal at Southwestern State College.

More than 1.9 million people have benefitted from our work. We have a wide portfolio in Nepal as we have been working in number of projects related to child rights, good governance, health, livelihood, nutrition, disaster risk reduction and HIV/AIDs. </p> <p> <strong>Could you give some examples of how Save the Children has been helping Nepali children? </strong></p> <p> We basically focus on primary education. One of the main things we do is encourage schools to do away with corporal punishment. In one of the schools in Sindhupalchowk where we have been working for last 20 years, the principal said that some students were not coming to class regularly. There were also instances of parents not sending their children to school. However, after corporal punishment was completely done away with, 30 percent more children started coming to school regularly. </p> <p> Similarly, we have been working with more than 400 schools in Kapilbastu and Pyuthan, where we have established Early Childhood Development Centres. The centres are designed to prepare children for primary education by working on their social, physical and mental skills. </p> <p> <strong>Save the Children has been working together with the private sector. How successful has the partnership been? </strong></p> <p> Yes, we believe that the private sector should also play its part in social development efforts. We take support from a number of private sector companies such as Ncell and Yeti Airlines. Last year alone, the private sector of Nepal contributed Rs 50 million for projects such as to construct school buildings, classrooms, libraries, labs and other facilities. We are happy that local as well as big companies are showing interest. Ncell and Yeti Airlines have contributed to our programmes in 17 different schools.</p> <p> <strong>How do you ensure that the services reach the targeted group? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children in Nepal is working with 150 different local partners. We have done a number of things to ensure that our assistance reaches the right people. For example, we have increased the number of staff members in the districts. They provide guidance to our local partners. Moreover, we are also working on putting up a country-wide monitoring system to allow communities to give us feedback. For example, during the second half of this year, we will be putting up banners in different communities of the country explaining the benefits locals can reap from our projects. We are also trying to set up a system that people can use to directly reach us with their feedback. All this is part of our efforts to ensure accountability. </p> <p> <strong>Could you share with us one of the best experiences the INGO has had working with Nepali bureaucrats? </strong></p> <p> Save the Children has lots of success stories working with government officials. We are constantly working with the government to develop innovative ideas and programmes. For example, we are working with the Ministry of Health to develop community-based new born health packages.</p> <p> <strong>How much money does Save the Children invest in Nepal each year? </strong></p> <p> Save The Children at the moment spends around $31 million dollar each year. In addition to that we are investing $ 5 million on food aid from the World food Programme.</p> <div> </div>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-01', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'David Wright is the country director of Save the Children, Nepal and Bhutan.
