Pema Choling Primary School is located in Ghat 6, Chouri Kharka Village Development Committee (VDC) of Solu-Khumbu district. The village of Ghat is on the way to Namche from Lukla and lies between Lukla and Phakding. This School offers courses from Kindergarten to grade 3 and at the moment there are about 60 students and 5 teachers teaching in this school. This school is built for children of several villages like Ghat, Lho, Tate and Sengma, Thaldakoshi, as this is the only school available in this area. Upon completion of their studies here, the students either have to go to Janasewa Lower Secondary School in Gumela or Mahendra Jyoti Secondary School in Chouri Kharka.
