Internship Vacancy: Jr. Social Media Assistant/Analyst – GYAN
The GYAN Teaching Fellowship is a school-embedded initiative of the IIDS under the GYAN Innovation Hub. IIDS places trained Fellows in government secondary schools to increase the number of students from government schools who choose science, technology, or computer-related streams in Grade 11 by strengthening STEM foundations. Working alongside teachers, fellows deliver engaging, student-centered lessons, provide academic support and mentorship, and help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
The fellowship also promotes career awareness and parental engagement, recognizing that student success extends beyond the classroom. By supporting students during the critical Grades 6–10 years, the GYAN Teaching Fellowship aims to improve learning outcomes, inspire future aspirations, and contribute to building a stronger foundation for Nepal’s future workforce and knowledge economy.
