Nepal:
Analysis of Inclusive Education

Nepal has made strong commitments to disability‑inclusive education through its Constitution, national legislation, and sector policies, yet implementation gaps continue to limit equitable access and learning for children with disabilities. The country also faces challenges in developing a consolidated, systemwide picture of inclusive education efforts; what interventions exist, where they operate, the capacities behind them, and which approaches are most viable for scale. As a result, children with disabilities remain among the most underserved, often facing barriers related to accessibility, assistive learning materials, and teacher preparedness.

This project will generate an up‑to‑date, systemwide understanding of Nepal’s inclusive education landscape by mapping current initiatives, analyzing gaps, and identifying opportunities to strengthen equity, participation, and learning for children with disabilities. The findings will inform the updated Inclusive Education Roadmap and the second phase of the School Education Sector Plan (SESP) 2027–2030, providing a clear evidence base to guide planning, resource allocation, and system strengthening for inclusive education at scale.
