HUManist Association of Nepal
Humanist Education in Schools
HUMAN carried out an education campaign project
focusing on the school students and teachers especially in the areas where
the frequency of the superstition induced events such as alleged witchcraft
practices, paranormal healing, religious dogma and fatalism are more prevalent.
The campaign project was implemented in primary and secondary schools
in the country. The objective of the humanist education campaign was
to cultivate the humanist values, scientific outlook and rational thinking
in the minds of the younger generation and mobilize the youths; students
and the schoolteachers to protect the innocent individuals and potential
victims from superstition induced social evils.
The campaign focused on the superstition, fatalism, irrational practices, untouchability etc. and examined the consequences of such practices to the society. The responses from teachers and students were highly encouraging. Such campaign activities must be initiated and expanded in other areas. Because of the financial and the infrastructure constraints, HUMAN is facing problems in initiating and expanding its activities. It has prepared a reference educational material to disseminate humanism and its secular philosophy among the masses in vernacular language. Humanist education, awareness raising campaign and right based advocacy constitute the principle activities of HUMAN at present.
