Aakar Educators Fellowship (AEF)

    For Future Educators Who Want to Make a Difference

    Not everyone who can teach gets the chance. We're here to change that. The Aakar Educators Fellowship (AEF) is a flagship initiative designed to identify, train, and launch passionate, purpose-driven individuals into the world of transformative teaching.

    AEF exists for those who know their subject, have a fire to inspire, but haven't had the tools, mentorship, or platform to teach. Through this fellowship, we aim to build the next generation of impactful educators who will help redefine how students across Nepal — and beyond — learn.

    AEF is for the teachers the system never noticed — but students will never forget. This is your chance to transform from passionate learner to transformative educator.

    Who This Is For

    AEF is perfect for:

    Curious Communicator

    You light up when someone understands a difficult concept and love breaking down complex ideas.

    Underestimated Expert

    You know your subject inside out but never had the right classroom or platform to share it.

    Quiet Leader

    You believe education can change families, communities, and countries, and you're ready to lead that change.

    If you believe teaching is a calling, not just a career — this is for you.

    Eligibility Requirements

    Be enrolled in or have completed education beyond +2/high school

    Have strong communication skills and the ability to break down complex ideas simply

    Be excited about teaching, learning, and community empowerment

    Be available for a two-week, in-person training at Aakar HQ in Kathmandu
