본문내용

Nepal has experienced remarkable paradigm shifts of education over the last several years. ‘Access to education’ which is one of the most important national agendas was formed between the 1950s and 1990s and it has been changed from ‘access to education’ to ‘quality of education’ since 1990 (Koirala et al, 2013).
Before the 1950s, education was only for the privileged classes thereby it was limited for other people. In 1971, the Nepalese government introduced a new education system plan that increased school enrolment and access to basic education (Bhatta, 2008). However, during the expansion of the school enrolment and access to primary education agenda, the Nepalese government policy considered an increase in the number of schools. As a result, there were untrained and unqualified teachers including those teaching in primary schools (Government of Nepal, 2009). Hence, ‘the quality of education’ agenda has taken place since the 1990s (Koirala et al, 2013).
