Reference 1.2— To be completed by the Principal or a Teacher of your SEE school a. What are some areas in which the applicant has shown a need for improvement? 

 Academically, she is already an independent learner, however, she could work a little more on prioritization and time management skills as a future leader.

 b. Why do you think the applicant is suitable for UWC? 

Under close observation and the exhibition of her multifarious interests and commitments, I believe she could gain much more than what she is getting or is likely to get in the local high schools and colleges in Nepal. Given the opportunity to be mentored in an institute like UWC where learners are provided with a broad spectrum of developing and adapting global human values and social ideals.  I am confident that she would certainly live up to the expectations and the needs for a future youth leader. IBDP curriculum suits her as it is developed in a way that calls for candidates who want to learn to live independently and work and make social changes collaboratively.

  

c. In what capacity do/did you know the applicant? In other words, what is your relationship with the applicant and how do you know him/her/they? 

She is a school graduate now. I taught her English for a period of two years in her early

Secondary Level School. In the course of mentoring, I found her one of the brightest learners

whom I could confidently rely on for both academic and non-academic projects that were assigned.
