United States
Posted on Jun 3, 2026
About The Project
Public secondary schools in Nepal are looking to develop digital literacy and maximize the use of technology in classrooms across all subjects.
In today’s growing digital world, Nepal’s Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology has prioritized computer and technology education in public schools. Many high schools have already established computer labs to provide a hands-on learning opportunity to students. Despite local efforts to increase access to technology, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) teachers are managing significant workloads due to a shortage of educators and therefore, lack the time to self-teach or familiarize themselves with the new tools and hardware. This ultimately impacts their ability to effectively use engaging digital tools in the classroom and teach the students.
As a Digital Learning Specialist, you will collaborate with local educators to advance their digital learning capability and prepare students to excel in school and beyond. Your supportive role will help increase average student learning achievement, student enrollment, and position local educators to advance digital skills for generations to come.
Activities
How you and the community will make an impact together:
Assess digital skill levels and identify priorities.
Support ICT teachers to enhance student learning with engaging digital tools.
Teach digital literacy to staff and students for the effective use of digital technologies and resources.
Collaborate with local educators to digitize relevant curricular contents.
Develop staff capacity in using ICT in the classroom, resolving hardware issues, and teaching computer science curricula.
You may also work on additional projects that meet the community’s interests and priorities, such as digital literacy skill workshops.
Required Skills
Qualified candidates will have the following criteria:
Bachelor's degree in education technology or a relevant field.
AND
Two or more years of teaching experience using digital or e-learning tools.
OR
