| description |
The modern education system in Nepal is
one of the youngest in the world and operates within a
political democracy that was established only in 1991. While
parts of the system have been well designed and are
implemented effectively, others remain in an embryonic stage
and are only partly effective. This report identifies a
number of key constraints which currently are hindering the
development of the system and suggests priorities and
strategies for organizing and managing the required changes.
Six aspects of the current status are highlighted: Levels of
literacy and educational attainment remain low. While access
to all levels of the education system has increased
considerably, participation remains unequal across income
and social groups and the benefits of public subsidies are
inequitably distributed. The quality of education is low.
High repetition and dropout rates throughout the system are
wasting valuable resources. The system does not serve the
labor market well. This report recommends the government to:
ensure within the coming decade that all children enroll in
and complete a five year primary education while developing
the structures and processes for expanding a strengthened
basic cycle of schooling for eight years, and expanding
levels of adult literacy; develop an integrated cycle of
secondary education; improve the quality of university
education and tertiary education; develop an comprehensive
teacher management system; and decentralize the system. |
