The ‘Kumon learning method’ based on technology and individual learning, which 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 teachers trained in this method.

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 in that 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 the ability to solve problems will be developed through this method as well as the art of living.

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.

United School Principal Manoj Vishwakarma 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.

The feedback will be taken by approaching the coach of the method and improving the use of the mind according to the instructions received. This method has been implemented in various states of the United States and various countries in Europe.

This method, which is considered expensive financially, has been provided in Nepal at a simple price.
