In order to provide quality education in the Government operated schools in  Solukhumbu District through English medium, government teachers do not have the required level of English standard. As a result, many of the local students who can afford to  English boarding schools in Kathmandu.

To address this problem Himalayan Trust Nepal initiated English medium teaching in 12 schools of the Khumbu region on trial basis. This initiative required good subject teachers, who can teach through English medium.

Himalayan Trust Nepal feels proud to see an excellent result of the first, Second and Third batch of the Secondary Education Examination (SEE: grade 10) graduate students in 2016,  2017 and 2018. The grades of SEE graduate students from Khumjung Secondary and Mahendra Jyoti Higher Secondary Schools, who passed SEE in English medium, was remarkably higher than the previous  SLC result in Nepali medium.
