We SEE a bright future for these Students!

The Secondary Education Examination (SEE) is also known as the “Iron Gate Exam.” Students in Nepal take this exam when they graduate from tenth grade. This exam determines their future ability to attend any school past eleventh grade or obtain a degree.

If a student is not able to pass the exam, they have to wait an entire year before taking it again. If they fail the exam a second time, they are not able to continue their education. Because of this, there is much pressure on the children to pass so they can continue in school.

This year, six of our students took the SEE and all passed! To celebrate, BSF staff took them for a movie outing and pizza. The movie was an uplifting sports comedy called “Sitaare Zameen Par.” They were also joined by last year’s SEE graduates.

The celebrations continued as they joined this year’s Contact Center graduates for a mini-graduation ceremony. The SEE graduates each gave an inspirational speech and were gifted a fun and educational book.

The celebration also included a delicious cake! As it so beautifully said, “Congratulations to our SEE Graduates!” We are so proud of you. All your hard work paid off, and we can’t wait to see what you are able to accomplish in the future!
