OLE Nepal recently signed an agreement with the British Council to host Learn English Kids (LE Kids) interactive software in E-Pustakalaya. LE Kids teaches the fundamentals of the English language to children and adults through audio-visual effects and flash animations. In this regard, it is similar to OLE Nepal’s E-Paath activities, but its content is not tied to any specific curriculum.
