Nepal’s Constitution guarantees free basic and secondary education as a fundamental right of Nepali citizens. The United Nations (UN) highlights that education is the basis for guaranteeing the realisation of other rights (UNESCO, 2016). In its call to action to eradicate extreme poverty, protect the planet, and ensure global prosperity and peace by 2030, the UN places ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all as its fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4).
