After grade ten some students will continue their studies in Kathmandu. The schools in both villages were similar. The buildings are stone, have no heating, no electrical lighting and no bathrooms. The only source of lighting is a small skylight in the roof. The students sit on a long bench and their desk is a taller plank bench.
Some rooms have a portable chalkboard and some rooms used painted planks attached to the wall.
The students have textbooks to assist their studies and enjoy drawing pictures as most rooms had them hanging from string along the ceiling. The schoolyards are large dirt fields with no playground equipment. Most games involve drawing in the dirt, using rocks or sticks as writing instruments. We also saw a form of marble games. When asked, the students said they like to play volleyball and track and field events.
