The State of Education in Nepal: Challenges and Hope
In the majestic Himalayas where natural beauty abounds, thousands of Nepali children face educational deprivation. According to UNICEF, nearly 770,000 children aged 5-12 are out of school in Nepal, with girls and rural populations disproportionately affected.

- Gender Equality: Educated girls marry later and have healthier families
- Community Development: Literate communities better advocate for infrastructure
- National Progress: Education fuels Nepal's developing economy
