He urged the teachers to use the smart class as a tool to enhance their teaching skills and to provide the students with practical knowledge of the lesson they learn. 
 
Acknowledging the good enrollment of Nepali student in government schools, Dorjey said that we are the host country and it is the responsibility of local government and education department to provide these children with good quality education.
