Probably the question with the biggest question mark for the school leaving certificate graduates. “What after SLC??”
It’s the phase after the completion of exams and before the result comes out. Before or during the school, many students would actually make plans, to do this and to do that. Many students do what they hoped for but majority of them cannot decide what to do or even do not know what are there to do. The almost three months of time can be fruitful for them because it is the longest free time a student gets in his/her entire school life in Nepal.
Their education and age do not make them eligible for doing various available internship programs nor does it allow them to travel freely like adults. It’s a lot of time granted to them but with fewer boundaries. Money problems, Immaturity and the family concerns over you may not allow what you hoped for, but this is not the worst. This leisure time goes with very less or unproductively largely in the villages and countryside areas, where there is nothing to do except for staying home or doing family chores. Despite this fact being said, there are a large number of students who would use this time to enter the cities, be the reason for pursuing higher education or for wandering around the city.
If you happen to be living in the town/city, then consider yourself lucky as there are multiple options you can engage yourself in.
