NFORSDT Innovation Centre for Education
The future of Nepal is shaped in its classrooms
Behind every inspired student stands an inspired teacher. Every child deserves an education that prepares them for the future, and every teacher deserves the opportunity to keep learning, growing and inspiring the next generation.
That is why the NFORSDT Innovation Centre for Education (NICE) exists.
More than a centre, NICE is a growing movement for educational innovation in Nepal. It is a vibrant hub where teachers, schools and educational partners come together to transform ideas into action, share knowledge, nurture innovation and build meaningful partnerships. Together, we empower teachers to prepare every student in Nepal for the rapidly changing world. Together, we make every student futureproof.
How we create change
Three simple but powerful principles
They are more than just a tagline, they are our identity.
Inspire
Igniting the passion to learn
Every change begins with people. And every change begins with inspiration. We inspire teachers to discover new possibilities, embrace lifelong learning and grow into confident leaders who make a difference in their schools and communities. Through leadership development, professional learning, global exchange and collaboration, we help teachers realise their full potential.
Innovate
Turning ideas into better education
Great education never stands still. We transform ideas into meaningful educational practice through innovative pedagogy, inclusive education, educational technology, AI, action research and collaboration. Together, we create engaging learning environments that prepare students for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.
Impact
Creating lasting change
When inspired teachers apply innovative practices, meaningful change happens. Our impact is measured not only by better teaching, but by confident learners, stronger schools, thriving communities and a future where every Nepalese child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Why we exist
Lasting change begins with empowered teachers
We believe the future of Nepal is shaped in its classrooms. That every child in Nepal deserves inspiring, high-quality education.
We believe that lasting educational change begins with empowered teachers. People who are curious, committed and willing to keep learning throughout their lives.
We believe that when teachers inspire one another, embrace innovation and work together, they create opportunities that reach far beyond the classroom. They shape the future of students, strengthen schools and contribute to thriving communities.
