The famous Japanese technique ‘Kumon Learning Method’ in Nepal

Kathmandu. The ‘Kumon learning method’ based on technology and personal learning that started in Japan has also started in Nepal. With the belief that the ability to learn varies from person to person, students are being taught in their own style through digital tablets without a trained teacher.

ICG Business Holding Pvt Ltd, the official Nepal representative of the said method, has conducted the practice of Kumon method to students of classes 3 and 4 of United in Lalitpur and LRI School in Kalanki, Kathmandu. Katsuyuki Inoue, managing director of Japan’s Kumon Education Company Limited, observed the Kumon practice conducted at the school and interacted with the students on Monday.

He said that this method will increase the thinking ability of more and more students of Nepal to increase their skills of learning independently at their own pace. He said that this method will develop the ability to solve problems as well as develop the art of living life.

LRI School Principal Dr. Devikant Joshi said that the 30-minute daily Kumon method has brought positive changes in the students’ study habits and behavior.

Manoj Vishwakarma, Principal of United School, said that this method is effective in Nepal as it is a unique self-learning and student-centered method.

Ganeshman Lama, President of ICG Holding, said that the method was brought to Nepal with the aim of improving the quality of education and said that there will be a debate for changes in teacher training, education policies, curriculum and textbooks.

President Lama informed that this method will help to speed up the ‘operating’ system by improving the ‘IQ’ level of students. It evaluates the students’ daily activities and informs Kumon staff through AI (artificial intelligence) about how the students’ brains are being used. It will be taken to improve the use of the mind according to the feedback received from the trainer. This method has been implemented in various states of the United States of America and various European countries. This method, which is considered to be expensive financially, is available in Nepal at a simple price.
