1. Computers are uncontested source of knowledge
2. Computers are gateway to information and the potential to learn through these machines are numerous. Having a computer can expand the resources available to the school as well as facilitate the much needed computer literacy.
3. It is our right, sanctioned by the constitution
The constitution of Nepal promulgated in 2015 states that the public should be able to easily access information. The policy also adds that this ease of access to information should be ensured through expansion of information technology as it is in necessary for accelerating the nation’s development. Having computer literacy at school level is aligned with this policy and imparts computer literacy among the Nepali population.
4. Keeping up with the changing world
With the current expansion of information technology and its reach, it is only fair that computer literacy is prioritized. Countries around the world have incorporated computer classes in the core curriculum of schools and when every academic field has an extension rooted in computer technology, it is only logical to attain computer literacy to keep up with the changing world.
5. Skill Development
Computer literacy is a very crucial skill to have in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. If computer literacy is incorporated in school curriculum, it allows students to attain computer skills which they can utilize for academic, employment or even developmental opportunities.
6. Increased Employment Opportunity
As mentioned earlier, knowledge of computer skills or proficiency in computer literacy allows a person to pursue more job opportunities. Especially in today’s world dominated by computers, there are more computer related jobs than ever.
7. Earlier the better
The earlier the students are introduced to computers, the easier it will be for them to grasp the concepts and be able to pursue it.
8. Development
Computers and its knowledge can be used to organize information regarding the school administration ensuring its smooth running and proper documentation as well as can be used as aide to educate the teachers.

Having computers is a win-win situation for all. However, the current state of computer literacy in Nepal is still in its nascent stage. Many schools across the nation are still struggling to afford a computer, let alone offer articulate courses. Following info-graphs gives us a glimpse of the current status of computer literacy in Nepal.

the brighter side, implementation of Information-Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures in school education have been recognized by the policymakers.

Initiatives like one Laptop per Child (OLPC), Lab Model (computer sharing mechanism) and internet access to schools have started to get implemented. There is still a lot to be done and it takes a combined contribution and support from both private and public sector to change that.

Spread the word!

The second week was productive in learning how to use Linux, Source Code maintenance in Git, how to use Skype effectively for communication and how to get access to full stack development tools and technologies. I got familiar with daily practices such as stand up session at sharp 10 AM in the morning with group members, using SCRUM board for personal and project development, mundane update of our progress at the end of day, Friday’s guest lectures and retro discussions on reflecting what went well or not over a week. It was completely a modern reality to perform task by teaming up with other members to solve problems both technical and non-technical.

On the third and fourth week, we were given Python assignments, Front end designs to clone and do objective tests. I learned to delegate my tasks and I planned to accomplish my objectives by the deadline using Trello and we were provided online learning materials by our instructors.&nbsp; I don’t like to miss a single day; I love being on time and every moment, I am learning something new. I am not exaggerating about how tough and high yielding our profession is. However, I genuinely sensed my daily six hours at work. Though, nothing comes easy, we have to train ourselves to become auto-didactic, brainstorm ideas, comprehend programming skills, follow stern and unanimous working environment. Last week, we learned to do basic crucial features of web development and I believe that I can develop my very own project with required functionality.

Over the coming months, I have planned to upgrade my programming skills to take my project to next level, give my foremost at workplace, redraft my professional subjects like CV, LinkedIn profile and build an effective communication and networking environment. Overall, I have attained additional confidence and motivation to work harder in the tech field. I am pursuing this notion in the coming days to complete my purpose of being a Hawkins Fellow and a software engineering trainee.
