Historically, bridge courses have been used to close knowledge gaps and get students ready for more advanced coursework. Transitioning from school to college can be quite overwhelming. This is where bridge programs come into play serving as a link to achievement. Bridge course in Nepal can also provide some kind of refreshment to the students, giving them a chance to make new friends and learn new things.

In the context of Nepal, it is a known fact that the syllabus of grade 10 and the syllabus of grade 11 heavily differ from one another. In the top +2 colleges of Nepal like Prasadi Academy, Trinity International College, St. Xavier’s, Global College, SOS Hermann Gmeiner, Kathmandu Model College, NCCS the Entrance Examinations are also designed to test the students beyond their 10th grade’s syllabus. High school is the place where you set your framework for the coming days or your career as a whole. So, it is important that we choose one of the best colleges in Nepal for better education. When the students choose the faculties (Science Management or Humanities), they also decide a path for themselves, bridge course can be a means for the students to rethink if they are making the right choice.

You could raise the question “Is Bridge course really necessary?” for the kids who can just tap into their phone and know everything about the world can figure out a way to catch up with the grade 11 syllabus but while the internet provides vast resources for self-directed learning, bridge courses still hold value for many students, particularly those who benefit from a structured environment and direct interaction with their instructors. Our students are not very used to using electronic devices specifically for their education. Moreover, the students that are residing outside the valley do not always have access to modern technology, additionally it is a common culture for them to move to the valley for high school. So, taking the bridge course in a structured  environment rather than an online bridge course will also get them habituated to the Kathmandu valley shenanigans. Even the students in the valley who have had the same circle for 13 years of their life could learn to socialize beyond the digital world.
