मेरो मनपर्ने शिक्षक मा निबन्ध (essay on my favorite teacher in nepali language),  मेरो मनपर्ने शिक्षक मा निबन्ध.

मैले मेरो शैक्षिक यात्रालाई प्रतिबिम्बित गर्दा, त्यहाँ एक व्यक्ति मेरो मनमा मेरो मनपर्ने शिक्षकको रूपमा उभिएको छ। श्री मनोज सार्की मेरो हाईस्कूल अङ्ग्रेजी शिक्षक हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र उहाँले मेरो जीवनमा महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रभाव पार्नुभयो।

श्री सार्की, मैले पहिले कहिल्यै पाएका कुनै पनि शिक्षक भन्दा भिन्न थिए। उहाँ साहित्यप्रति भावुक हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र उहाँको उत्साह संक्रामक थियो। उहाँसँग सबैभन्दा चुनौतीपूर्ण पाठहरूलाई पनि जीवन्त बनाउने तरिका थियो, र उहाँले हामीलाई हामीले पढ्ने साहित्यको प्रत्येक टुक्रामा विषयवस्तु र सन्देशहरूको बारेमा आलोचनात्मक रूपमा सोच्न प्रोत्साहन दिनुभयो।

मैले श्री सार्कीको सबैभन्दा धेरै प्रशंसा गरेको कुरा भनेको उहाँका विद्यार्थीहरूका लागि माथि र बाहिर जान इच्छुक हुनु थियो। यदि हामी कुनै विशेष असाइनमेन्टको लागि संघर्ष गरिरहेका थियौं भने, उहाँले हामीलाई एक-अर्कासँग भेट्न र थप मद्दत प्रदान गर्न समय निकाल्नुहुन्छ। उहाँले आफ्ना प्रत्येक विद्यार्थीलाई व्यक्तिगत स्तरमा चिन्ने प्रयास पनि गर्नुभयो, र उहाँले हाम्रो सफलताको साँच्चै ख्याल गर्नुभयो।

श्री सार्कीको मेरो सबैभन्दा मनमोहक सम्झना थियो जब उहाँले हाम्रो कक्षाको लागि कविता स्ल्याम आयोजना गर्नुभयो। हामी प्रत्येकलाई कक्षाको अगाडि एउटा मौलिक कविता लेख्ने र प्रदर्शन गर्ने जिम्मेवारी दिइएको थियो, र म यसमा चिन्तित थिएँ। जे होस्, श्री सार्कीले हामीलाई सफल हुन आवश्यक पर्ने उपकरण र समर्थन प्रदान गर्नुभयो, र कविता स्ल्याम मेरो हाई स्कूलको अनुभवको हाइलाइटहरू मध्ये एक भयो।

श्री सार्कीसँगको मेरो समयलाई फर्केर हेर्दा, यस्तो समर्पित र प्रेरणादायी शिक्षक पाउँदा म कति भाग्यमानी थिएँ भन्ने महसुस गर्छु। उहाँले मलाई साहित्यको बारेमा मात्र होइन कडा परिश्रम, दृढता र दयाको महत्त्व पनि सिकाउनुभयो। उहाँले मेरो जीवनमा परेको प्रभावको लागि म सधैं आभारी छु।

अन्तमा, एक महान शिक्षकले विद्यार्थीको जीवनमा सबै परिवर्तन ल्याउन सक्छ, र श्री मनोज सार्की मेरो लागि शिक्षक थिए। उहाँ आफ्ना विद्यार्थीहरूलाई प्रेरणा र समर्थन गर्न माथि र बाहिर गए, र साहित्यको लागि उहाँको जोश संक्रामक थियो। म उहाँलाई मेरो मनपर्ने शिक्षक र मेरो शैक्षिक यात्रामा महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रभाव पार्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा सधैं सम्झिरहनेछु।

शिक्षाको महत्व निबन्ध | Importance of Education Essay in Nepali |

शिक्षाको महत्व.

‘शिक्षा’ भन्ने बित्तिकै स्कूल, क्याम्पस आदिमा र घरमै पनि नियमित रूपले अध्ययन गर्ने-गराउने वा पढेको बन्दोबस्त मिलाउने काम भन्ने बुझिन्छ। सिकेर, पढेर, सुनेर वा अन्य कुनै पनि प्रकारले ग्रहण गरिने सैधान्तिक तथा व्यवहारिक विषयको बोध वा ज्ञान पनि शिक्षा नै हो। ‘शिक्षाको महत्त्व’ भनेको कुनै विषयमा सिकेर पोख्त हुने इच्क्षा वा चाहनाको महत्त्व हो। शिक्षा मानव जातिको तेस्रो चम्किलो आँखा भएकोले आजको युगमा यसको निकै ठूलो महत्त्व रहेको छ। शिक्षा विना मानिस ज्ञानले अन्धो नै हुन्छ। शिक्षा आजका मान्छेको एक महत्त्वपूर्ण गहन नै भएकोले यसको महत्त्व निकै ठूलो छ।

Essay on: teacher's day.

TEACHER'S DAY

O ne day every year, we celebrate Teachers' Day in honor of the teachers who spend so much time teaching us so many things. This year, Teachers' Day began with a school assembly in the hall where the headmaster delivered a speech. After that we adjourned to our classes, not to have lessons, but to enjoy ourselves.

My classmates gave a small party for the teachers who taught us. Each of us contributed a small sum of money to buy cakes, drinks and other titbits. On that day we arranged the chairs and desks so that they surrounded an empty space in the middle of the classroom.

So began a round of eating, drinking and playing games with the teachers. Most of the teachers were very sporting and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was so different from having lessons.

The other classes gave parties too. So, the teachers had to move from class to class and participate in the fun. I would think that this was quite tiring on the part of the teachers but they managed it. After all it was their day to enjoy and have fun.

One class even gave a short play for their teachers. I did not get to watch it as I was busy tidying up the classroom after the party.

All in all, it was a great day. The whole school was immersed in an atmosphere of gaiety. So when the school bell rang for dismissal I felt a little sad that it should end, but end it must. The day was over and we went home tired but happy.

The ongoing reform of the Nepali education system is guided by the commitment of Nepal’s Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to improve educational outcomes through alignment with international educational policy. The reform goals require Nepali teachers to change their classroom practices to become child-friendly, flexible, and responsive to students’ needs. Evaluation reports describe Nepali teachers’ response as limited but do not explain the reasons why, do not contain the voices of Nepali teachers, and do not indicate whether Nepali teachers’ beliefs align with the reform goals. This article reports the findings of a mixed-methods research project conducted with Nepali teachers. It shows the close alignment between Nepali teachers’ beliefs and the reform goals and then examines the factors that Nepali teachers report have limited their response to change. These factors center around endemic issues of instability and inequity within the Nepali context. The article also outlines teachers’ recommendations for stability and equitable strategies.

Celebrate With 15+ Easy Nepali Words For Teacher Day 

• , October 2, 2023

In Nepal, the role of teachers is deeply revered and celebrated as an integral part of the culture. On Nepali Teacher’s Day, known as “Shikshak Divas ” ( शिक्षक दिवस ), students across the country pay tribute to their educators.

As a language learning enthusiast, it’s not just about mastering the language, it’s also about understanding the culture. Keeping that in mind, let’s explore some essential Nepali words for Teacher Day and delve into the significance of education in Nepal.

Most Important Nepali Words For Teacher Day

Here are some words related to Teachers Day and the sphere of education.

1. Teacher – Shikshak (शिक्षक)

The most fundamental word to know for Teacher’s Day in Nepal is “Shikshak” (शिक्षक), which means “teacher” in English. Spiritual and academic teachers in Nepal play a pivotal role in shaping the future of their students, and their dedication is highly respected.

2. Mentor – Guru (गुरु)

In addition to “शिक्षक,” the term “Guru” (गुरु) is commonly used in Nepal to refer to teachers. This word carries a deeper sense of mentorship and spiritual guidance, reflecting the profound respect for educators, either in rural and urban teachers.

3. To Study – Padhne (पढ्ने)

Education is highly valued in Nepal, and the word “Padhne” (पढ्ने) means “to study.” Students diligently go to “पढ्ने” in schools to gain knowledge and honor their teachers’ efforts.

4. Education – Shiksha (शिक्षा)

“Shiksha” (शिक्षा) is the Nepali word for “education.” It signifies the importance placed on learning and acquiring knowledge as a means to personal and societal development, especially for World Teachers Day celebration on October 5th.

5. School – Vidyalaya (विद्यालय)

In Nepal, “विद्यालय” (Vidyalaya) is where the journey of education begins. It translates to “school” and is the place where students interact closely with their teachers.

6. Classroom – Pathshala (पाठशाला)

Within the “Vidyalaya” (विद्यालय), the “Pathshala” (पाठशाला) is where the magic happens. It is the “classroom” where teachers impart knowledge to eager learners.

7. Student – Chhatra (छात्र)

“Chhatra” (छात्र) represents the diligent “student” in Nepal who respects and learns from their “शिक्षक” (teacher) or “गुरु” (guru).

8. Book – Pustak (पुस्तक)

Books hold the key to knowledge, and “पुस्तक” (Pustak) means “book” in Nepali. Teachers often guide their “छात्र” (students) through these valuable resources.

9. Education Festival – Shiksha Parv (शिक्षा पर्व)

Nepal celebrates “Shiksha Parv” (शिक्षा पर्व), which is an education festival dedicated to honoring the contributions of teachers and highlighting the importance of education in society.

10. Guru Purnima – गुरु पूर्णिमा

While not exclusive to Nepal, “गुरु पूर्णिमा” (Guru Purnima) is a significant day in the Nepali calendar when students express gratitude and pay homage to their teachers. “Purnima” means the full moon and Guru Purnima is the day in the Hindu calendar on which Gurus are revered.

In Nepal, the reverence for teachers extends beyond the classroom. It’s a culture that places a high value on learning, knowledge, and the individuals who impart it. “शिक्षक दिवस” (Shikshak Divas) is a day of acknowledgment and appreciation for the tireless efforts of educators.

The Culture Of Teachers & Education In Nepal

In Nepal, शिक्षक (Shikshak) holds a revered position in society, embodying the ideals of knowledge, wisdom, and guidance. The respect for teachers, or गुरु (Guru) as they are often affectionately referred to, is deeply ingrained in Nepali culture. They are viewed not only as educators but also as mentors who shape the minds of future generations. This profound reverence is evident in various aspects of daily life, from the formalities used when addressing a teacher to the celebrations on शिक्षक दिवस ( Shikshak Divas).

The educational system in Nepal is structured to provide a well-rounded learning experience. विद्यालय (Vidyalaya), or schools, serve as the foundation of formal education. Students, known as छात्र (Chhatra), progress through various levels, with a curriculum that encompasses विज्ञान (Vigyan) (science), गणित (Ganit) (mathematics), इतिहास (Itihas) (history), and more. Within the विद्यालय , the पाठशाला (Pathshala), or classroom, is where the heart of learning beats. Here, teachers impart knowledge, instilling a sense of शिक्षा (Shiksha) that goes beyond textbooks.

As students advance, they transition to higher levels of education, often marked by परीक्षा (Pariksha), or examinations. These evaluations are a crucial part of the educational journey and determine one’s progression. Upon successful completion, students may celebrate स्नातक (Snatak), or graduation, marking a significant milestone in their academic endeavors.

While the formal educational system plays a vital role, informal education is equally valued in Nepal. Families, elders, and community leaders are regarded as important sources of wisdom, with their teachings complementing those received in schools. This holistic approach to education reflects the cultural significance placed on lifelong learning.

Overall, the educational landscape in Nepal is a blend of tradition and modernity, with a deep appreciation for the role of teachers as both instructors and mentors! The respect for educators and the pursuit of knowledge form the bedrock of the Nepali educational experience, shaping generations of learners who carry this reverence and major respect forward.

Wrapping It Up

As you embark on your Nepali language learning journey, remember that understanding the culture and context behind the words enriches your experience. Learning these key words related to Teacher’s Day in Nepali not only enhances your language skills but also deepens your appreciation for the culture and traditions of Nepal. So, try “पढ्ने” (Padhne) and explore the beauty of the Nepali language and its rich heritage. Happy learning!

I love my country, I love my language

My mother tongue, I love it very much

We are the jewels of this country, o’ mother

Adorned by us, smile at us once

Hills, Mountains, Plains

We love all ethnic groups and all languages

Every morning, students in Jagat Sundar Bwonekuthi (JSB) School gathered in the main hall to sing their school song. Students, lined up neatly in their class rows, sang this song in Nepal Bhasa, one of the 123 minority languages in Nepal. The song portrays an image of Nepal with diverse terrain – hills, mountains and Tarai – where different groups speaking different languages are the ‘jewels’ that adorn the country. This discursive move to invoke the love for one's country, while declaring the love for one's mother tongue ( matri bhasa ), was one of the important ways in which JSB sought to institutionalise their mother tongue as the language of education. In this context, the school song simultaneously positioned ethnolinguistic identity as national identity, the one that does not hinder but bolsters the notion of Nepali nationhood. A few months later, I continued my fieldwork in another school that used Dangaura Tharu as the medium of instruction: Jana Kalyan Higher Secondary School ( JKHSS) in Kapilvastu. In the very first meeting at JKHSS, the teachers discussed extensively on the new multilingual textbook that they had been using in primary level, that is, Grades I–III. Showing me the textbook with Dangaura Tharu and Nepali language scripts simultaneously printed on every page (more discussion on this in Chapter 4), JKHSS teachers explained, ‘Each language has its role.’ I was often told during our conversations, ‘Mother tongue cannot replace Nepali because Nepali is the contact language.

Writing essays: Motives, Processes and Structures (in Nepali)

This paper in the Nepali language explores motives, processes and structures for writing creative essays.

Related papers

This research examines English language and literature essays written by First Year students of the English Department at Dhaka University (Bangladesh) using multi-method genre analysis. The first method used was text analysis. Essay topics were analysed from the two contexts to identify their topic fields and main rhetorical functions. This helped develop the two models to analyse the structure of essays: an Exposition-Discussion model and a Description-Recount model. Then, a total of 100 essays from the two contexts were analysed on the basis of Move-strategy structure to see what structural patterns the essays possessed, what tactical choices the students took to express the moves and what was presented in terms of content matter within those moves. The second method was a questionnaire that was distributed to students in the department to discover their perceptions of the writing tasks given.

Although smart writing skill is equally important in both academic and professional spheres, many Bangladeshi tertiary level learners find writing skills too difficult to be developed. In respect of this, the students are given many writing tasks (such as composing a five-paragraph essay) to improve their competencies in a language classroom. Anyhow, writing a good essay needs several cognitive steps that a student has to go through demanding a high level of motivation and constructive teacher feedback. Considering the fact, this paper has investigated tertiary level Bangladeshi learners’ perspectives about how the essay-writing tasks keep them motivated in class. This pilot project had been conducted using a set of 20 items (quantitative survey questionnaire), which was administered among thirty participants from the Department of English of a reputed Bangladeshi public university. The small-scale research revealed that the majority of the undergraduates stay motivated during the b...

Teachers’ experiences prove that second language writing (L2 writing) is a challenging task. Embracing a phenomenological approach to research, this study unpacks teachers’ lived experiences of teaching English as a second language (ESL) writing at the undergraduate (bachelor) level in Nepal.

The findings show that, as reported by the teachers, students most often react negatively to writing assignments and struggle in their writing. The teachers assign several ...

Intended to explore the status and potential areas of improvement of argumentative writing skills among graduate students of Nepal, this study assessed forty-seven argumentative essays written by graduate students majoring in English. Those essays were selected purposively, evaluated by multiple instructors, and analyzed by the researchers after developing inclusive and comprehensive rubrics that included both higherorder concerns (HOCs) and lower-order concerns (LOCs) visa -vis academic writing. The results revealed that the students' writing skills in demonstrating the essay's core elements were better than those of linguistics and technical aspects. It also showed that the students performed above the median score in all rubrics; however, it showed a significant performance gap among the students with regard to some of the parameters. Similarly, as per the qualitative findings, the students often conventionally used the core elements in terms of their placement and orders and relied more on the templates, although the study identified variations in expressions. The study concluded that although students performed well in major aspects of argumentation, they need more continuous support and formative feedback during the writing process to strengthen their argumentative writing skills. It also provided insights among the instructors about teaching writing skills to graduate students whose first language is not English.
