Since 2020, Nepal Forum for Restorative Justice has been promoting ways to use the principles of restorative justice in the field of education under the arch of Pedagogies of Care. The Pedagogies are about building communities in schools where all stakeholders – children, teachers, parents, administrators – are connected to one another through care and compassion.
It’s generally seen that schools have internalized the idea of punishment conflating it with the notion of discipline, although there is a better way of doing such “punishments”. Through Pedagogies of Care, schools and their classrooms become better welcoming, respectful, and positive learning environments.
