Samaya Tamang, who has been active in implementing MTB-MLE as a teacher in Gothen Devi Basic School in Tipling since 2017, testified: “In our school, now the young students can speak confidently in front of others. Even in front of people from the district quarters.” Samaya attributed this to activities such as listening stories and discussions using the Western Tamang language, which help students develop confidence as communicators and learners.
