Description

In January 2026, the local government of Bhanu Municipality (Tanahun District, Gandaki Province, Nepal) organised a hands-on artificial-intelligence training for public-school teachers, delivered in three groups of 30 for a total of 90 participants.

Education Officer Dhurba Raj Paudel led the session, and Mayor Ananda Raj Tripathi publicly framed continuing AI-related professional development as a municipal priority, arguing that teachers should lead the shift toward AI-integrated classrooms rather than be overtaken by it.

The training aimed to build teachers' practical AI skills for lesson preparation and to help them guide students toward independent, technology-supported learning, positioned as preparation for an AI-shaped labour market.

Reporting covers only the training's delivery (participant counts and municipal statements); no pre/post skills assessment, classroom-implementation follow-up, or funding/expansion plan has been published, so this is documented here as a single, unevaluated local pilot rather than a proven model.
