Without a doubt, the number of vehicles has increased tremendously in recent years. However, with the increased numbers of vehicles, more incidents of road accidents have also been reported. Thus, the subject of road accidents has become a serious issue today.  Life has become very fast, and people are busier today than they were in the past. They have to use different means of transportation in their day-to-day lives. Most people prefer the fastest mode of transportation so that they can reach their destinations on time.  If we look back in the past, the frequency of road accidents was pretty low. But today, roads are not safe and secure as more accidents are taking place. Among others, poor quality roads could be one potent reason for accidents. Roads are cracked in many places, and several pu...

Photo: Nepal Education Post THE ROLE OF EDUCATION CONSULTANCY By Kiran Subedi Students often find themselves confused about choosing the right colleges and universities for higher education. Moreover, they are also uncertain about the overall expenditures, accommodation, visa procedures, and documentation. The visa application process can be lengthy due to the different requirements set by the host colleges and universities. Sometimes the entire process can take as long as a year. Education consultancies play a crucial role in assisting students in finding the right colleges, universities, and scholarships for further education. These education consultancies offer a wealth of resources, including expertise, information, and technical support, to students.   These consultancies provide comprehensive information about universities, colleges, and academic programs. They also provide detailed entry requirements, course offerings, and program structures. Leveraging this wealth of...

All Photos: Read 2B Happy.   MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE BODY AND SOUL By Enjeesa Rai If I ask people, what is life? What is the purpose of your life? Can anyone answer it? The majority of people will start thinking about it not because they don’t know it but simply because they don’t know how to explain it. Are these questions too difficult? No. Then why do we stammer while answering such fundamental questions? These questions are just examples. There are numerous questions about us that we are unaware of. For instance, who created the soul? The energy?  Still no answer? It’s such a paradox, right? We know, but we still don’t know, and this is the truth. So, let’s plunge into the pool of my experiences and knowledge that I have assimilated. I actually cannot remember the exact date; however, I remember one day I was watching reels on YouTube, when I stumbled on a video and started contemplating. In the reel, a question was raised regarding how the soul is the supreme essence...

Photo: Read 2B Happy COPING WITH GOOD TIME AND BAD TIME By Nabin Thakuri There may be a good time or a bad time and truth has it that nobody wants to experience bad time in life. Is bad time so bad? Not at all. What bad time can teach people a good time can never teach and this is a reality! Then should we try to put efforts to change bad time to good time? On the other hand, we should make compromise with bad time. This is a point to be considered. Is it not?     Bad time comes in everyone’s life more like an unwelcome guest. Some people think that we should just accept it while others believe that adequate efforts should be put to make things better.  People face unsatisfactory situations more today than ever before. They are not satisfied at their work, at their homes or the business they are doing. Again the question is, should we let it continue by compromising with the situations? Alternatively, efforts should be put to improve those situations.  Wel...

THE WRATH OF NA TURE Mamata Paudel Prativa Secondary School, Palikhe chowk, Pokhara Climate change has already given the world many ominous signs in the form of natural calamities. However, the world has not yet taken the early warning issued by nature seriously. This year’s massive floods almost across the world have stunned the governments of many developed nations. The world has become witness to the nasty floods that trounced cities in a matter of a few minutes. The governments of these powerful nations found themselves helpless.  Now is the time to take this issue seriously before it is too late. The environment must be protected at any cost. A healthy environment means life for all living creatures on earth and under water. If we mindlessly damage the environment by exploiting natural resources and pollution, then that day is not very far away when all living creatures might be wiped off this planet.  Before it is too late, an alternative to fossil fuels must be d...

Parents and teachers role in the lives of students By Usha Gurung Prativa Secondary School, Nadipur, Nepal It is true that parents and teachers play a significant role in molding a child’s personality. Therefore, parents’ contributions cannot be undermined. However, the role of a teacher is equally important. Parents and teachers roles in shaping the lives of students cannot be replaced, as both are equally important.  To begin with, teachers’ role in shaping children’s personalities is immensely important. Unlike parents, teachers are professionals. They are well educated, experienced, and trained to execute their responsibilities for the benefit of students. Teachers know how to handle and teach students and guide them for a better future. Teachers are much more skilled at handling students in the most effective manner than parents are. Teachers understand students’ psychology better than any parent can. For instance, due to teachers’ hard work, students can become doctors, ...

OBESITY: A SILENT KILLER By Pradip Paudel Western Regional College of Pokhara In general, the average weight of people is increasing, but their health and fitness levels are decreasing. Most people eat junk food, which increases their weight and affects their overall health. Thus, the problem has already become a worldwide phenomenon.  In addition, nowadays more and more people depend on the use of technology, and that has made them lazy. Most of the time, they prefer taking food from nearby restaurants and hotels. The trend is on the rise. It is found that those who eat regularly outside have their health plummet and face many health-related complications. Unfortunately, people do not care about their health. What they want is delicious food.  It has been found that people living in rural areas are much healthier than people in urban areas. And everyone knows the reason. Village people eat organic vegetables, which they grow on their lands. Village people are physically ...

  INCLUDE FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM Roshan Gurung Shree Gogan Higher Secondary School, Gagan Gaunda The world is not the same as it was in the past few years. Today, the world has turned out to be a global village. People travel more frequently today than ever before. The importance of a foreign language has become more of a necessity than a choice. Many people across the world don’t speak English. We need to talk with them in their own languages.   Everyone knows the importance of a foreign language. Nowadays, people travel too much for different purposes, and they need to communicate in a language other than their own.   It is a well-established fact that globalization has opened doors for people to be able to work abroad. It is an undeniable fact that to work abroad, one must be proficient in the host country’s language. Working abroad will be much easier if one can speak the local language of the host country.   It is also true that so...

THE SUBJECT TO STUDY By Ashika Purja Shree Laxmi Secondary School, Lekhnath, Nepal It has been a hotly debated topic in recent times. Many scholars think that students should only learn academic subjects. While other scholars think that students should learn any subjects they want. Well, these contradictory statements might perplex students. Let’s delve into the subject matter to know more. Many academicians advise students to concentrate on the syllabus of their schools and colleges. Because this will help them score better grades in their respective subjects. It is believed that students with impressive scores will be highly successful in their careers. This is the reason many students pay attention to the syllabus prescribed by their colleges and universities. On the contrary, some scholars believe that for the all-round development of students, they must take interest in out-of-syllabi  as well. Reading fiction, non-fiction books, newspapers, and magazines will alw...

  WORKING WHILE STUDYING By Safal Sapkota Prativa Secondary School, Pokhara, Nepal In my view, it is completely fine to work while studying. Many people believe that due to part-time jobs, students will not have enough time to study. This will cause stress to students. That’s why people advise students not to work while studying. However, I oppose this concept.  It is a normal phenomenon for students to do part-time jobs while studying. Students can work in their free time. Nowadays, many international students work while studying abroad to meet their expenditures. I am a student and therefore I understand this phenomenon better than anyone does. A part-time job does not only support students financially but also in many other ways.    This is a wrong myth among students that part-time work hampers studies. This is not true.  Many students have come up brilliantly when they still have part-time jobs. Part-time work actually helps students to grow as a m...
