today, I am here at Jiri Technical School(JTS), another help by Swiss Government.This school was built by Swiss Government where students from all over Nepal come to study vocational and Technical subjects every year.This school provide mainly Technical education based on Health, Agriculture and Engineering sector.According to Ram, there is facility of hostels, swimming pools,sports etc. for students studying there.
Besides, there are many other schools to provide regular eduction.Though many part of country are lack of school and good education, in Jiri there is about 12 schools: a great achievement in field of education in context of Nepal.Jiri Higher Secondary School where class up to bachelor level is studied was established about 40 years ago.There is another school where students are studying up to grade 10.There is regularly one primary school in every 9 Ward and 3-4 more private schools.So according to my friend, literacy rate of Jiri is more than 85 though average literacy of Nepal is not more than 55.For people of older age, there is informal classes to learn basic education.
To the south of Jiri, there is Jiri Hospital established about 45 years back being second largest in the Dolakha district.It has provided facility to local residents and other who live near Jiri.Additionally, there are another 3 Health clinics in Jiri.I will write about scenery of Jiri and culture of people in Jiri.
