In recent years, Nepal has improved both access and equity in education and has succeeded in ensuring all genders are represented equally in primary and secondary classrooms. Building on these successes, Nepal is focused on improving the quality of learning and teaching and addressing persistent inequalities, often as a result of income, location, ability or gender.
The government and its partners agree that the biggest barriers to transformational change fall within three priority areas against a larger backdrop of making the recent federal transition work: quality teaching, early childhood education and gender equality.
To unlock large-scale change, Nepal, with the support of GPE, will work on local and provincial governments’ capacities to ensure that there are enough trained, competent and motivated teachers; early childhood centers meet quality standards to ensure children’s school readiness and the foundations of their development; and schools are more gender sensitive and socially inclusive.
