As temperatures continue to rise through May and June, attendance declines, learning is disrupted, and local governments are forced to shorten the school day, adjust schedules, or temporarily close schools following heat advisories from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. In 2025 and 2026, the Climate Resilience Programme, supported by the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance, implemented by Practical Action with BEE Group and PESWAN, piloted heat-reflective roof paint in 15 schools. Across 15 schools in Bardiya, Kailali, and Kanchanpur, students record daily temperatures and share their observations with families and neighbours, helping communities better understand the growing risks of extreme heat.
