Established in 1951 (2008 BS) in Gothikanda and later relocated to Birendranagar-6, Surkhet in 1965, Jana Namuna Secondary School has emerged as one of the most prestigious community schools in Nepal. The school has redefined the standards of public education, making it a preferred choice over many private institutions.

ABOUT

Jana Namuna Secondary School is a publicly owned academic institution committed to delivering quality education to students. The school has successfully bridged the gap between public and private education, becoming a source of pride for local parents who value its disciplined academic environment and stellar reputation over expensive private alternatives.

The school is affiliated with the National Examinations Board (NEB) and offers Ten Plus Two (10+2) programs in Science, Management, Education, and Education Science, catering to a diverse range of academic interests and career aspirations. In addition to its strong general education programs, the school is also affiliated with the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) and offers skill-oriented courses such as the Pre-Diploma in Civil Engineering (Civil Sub-Overseer) with 40 available seats, and the Diploma in Civil Engineering. These technical programs are designed to equip students with hands-on skills and practical knowledge required for the job market, especially in the field of infrastructure development.

Jana Namuna Secondary School emphasizes both academic excellence and holistic development. The learning environment is enhanced through spacious classrooms, a large and well-utilized compound, and a curriculum that encourages participation in extra-curricular activities (ECAs). Early learners benefit from a Montessori-based approach, ensuring a strong foundation in their formative years. With a team of friendly and supportive teachers, the school fosters both personal and academic growth, creating a nurturing and motivating atmosphere for students.

The school’s reputation for quality has led to an overwhelming demand for enrollment. To maintain its high standards, the school has implemented a rigorous entrance examination system since 2016. The pressure for admission is so high that school authorities often face immense public and telephonic pressure during the enrollment season, prompting plans to expand infrastructure to accommodate up to 5,000 students by 2028 AD.

Known for its affordable fee structure and commitment to accessibility, Jana Namuna Secondary School also provides scholarship opportunities to deserving and underprivileged students, as determined by the school management committee.

As of 2026, the school serves a massive student body of 3,175, comprising 1,600 students in Grades 1 to 10 and 1,575 in the+2 programs.

Innovative Pedagogical Approaches
What sets Jana Namuna apart is its commitment to student success through extended learning hours and diagnostic testing. Unlike standard schools, it operates until 6:00 PM to provide free remedial and extra classes for students. Furthermore, the school conducts "Improvement Tests" every Saturday. Rather than focusing solely on grades, these assessments are designed to provide constructive feedback, allowing students to identify specific lessons they need to master and reducing the overall fear of formal examinations.

Technology-Driven and Resource-Rich Learning
Embracing the digital age, the school has integrated modern technology into its daily curriculum. Early childhood and primary classes are equipped with smart boards, while secondary levels utilize multimedia projectors. Every teacher is provided with a laptop to enhance instructional delivery. The school is spread across over 3 bighas of land and features 54 classrooms, five science laboratories, three computer labs, and specialized labs for Mathematics and Music. For student safety and convenience, the premises are monitored by over 60 CCTV cameras and offer amenities like a school bus, water dispensers in every room, and free sanitary pads for female students.

Consistent Growth
The school has achieved consistent academic growth, with SEE pass rates rising to 77% and the school ranking first in the province for Grade 12 results. To support underprivileged students, the school manages an endowment fund of Rs 1.11 crore, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder talented learners from accessing quality education.
