Nepal has had perhaps the most active grassroots OLPC community, that became active in the fall of 2006. The OLPC Nepal movement has needed to develop its deployment plans, school server architecture, and strategies of interfacing with government. The most active members of the OLPC community within Nepal formed a local non-profit organization in July 2007, [[OLE Nepal]], to implement Nepal's initial OLPC deployments. All of these became the exemplars for later deployments.

The OLPC-Nepal project began with the efforts of two Nepali engineering students named Shankar Pokharel and Ankur Sharma. These two students were responsible for raising awareness at the grassroots level of the potential of OLPC to positively impact the educational system of Nepal. They contacted OLPC expressing their interest in starting an OLPC chapter in Nepal.

Soon after, the project was taken over by OLE (Open Learning Exchange). OLE-Nepal is a non-governmental organization dedicated to assisting the Government of Nepal in meeting its Education for All goals by developing freely accessible, open-source Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based educational teaching-learning materials [http://www.olenepal.org]. OLE’s responsibilities have ranged from the distribution of laptops to the training of teachers and the technical support. Meanwhile, the Nepal Government has three-tier committees to implement OLPC in Nepal under Ministry of Education: Steering Committee (the chair is the Secretary of Ministry of Education), Coordination Committee (the chair is the Director of Department of Education), and a Task Force (the chair is the Deputy Director of Department of Education). This combination of grassroots and government support was an important factor in the success of the project in Nepal. In fact, this project has inspired others, such as Rabi Karmacharya, to start their own OLPC pilot projects in Nepal.

OLE partnered with the Nepalese Government Department of Education in order to distribute laptops in the Lalitpur District. Pilot schools selected were the Bishwamitra Ganesh Secondary School and the Bashuki Lower Secondary School. There were 135 laptops deployed to students in grades 2 and 6 in both schools on April 25th, 2008. 3 Uttam Sharma, a doctoral student at the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota (sharm061@umn.edu), has done the evaluation of the initial pilot phase.

Nepal has had perhaps the most active grassroots OLPC community, that became active in the fall of 2006. The OLPC Nepal movement has needed to develop its deployment plans, school server architecture, and strategies of interfacing with government. The most active members of the OLPC community within Nepal formed a local non-profit organization in July 2007, OLE Nepal, to implement Nepal's initial OLPC deployments. All of these became the exemplars for later deployments.

[edit] Implementation and Deployments

The OLPC-Nepal project began with the efforts of two Nepali engineering students named Shankar Pokharel and Ankur Sharma. These two students were responsible for raising awareness at the grassroots level of the potential of OLPC to positively impact the educational system of Nepal. They contacted OLPC expressing their interest in starting an OLPC chapter in Nepal.

Soon after, the project was taken over by OLE (Open Learning Exchange). OLE-Nepal is a non-governmental organization dedicated to assisting the Government of Nepal in meeting its Education for All goals by developing freely accessible, open-source Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based educational teaching-learning materials [1]. OLE’s responsibilities have ranged from the distribution of laptops to the training of teachers and the technical support. Meanwhile, the Nepal Government has three-tier committees to implement OLPC in Nepal under Ministry of Education: Steering Committee (the chair is the Secretary of Ministry of Education), Coordination Committee (the chair is the Director of Department of Education), and a Task Force (the chair is the Deputy Director of Department of Education). This combination of grassroots and government support was an important factor in the success of the project in Nepal. In fact, this project has inspired others, such as Rabi Karmacharya, to start their own OLPC pilot projects in Nepal.

OLE partnered with the Nepalese Government Department of Education in order to distribute laptops in the Lalitpur District.
