| description |
Investments in education, health and
social protection are the key to improving the state of
human development in any society. In recent years, Nepal too
has invested heavily in these sectors, particularly in
education and health. This note provides an overview of the
progress and current state of access and equity in these
three sectors. It also presents evidence on some aspects of
quality in the education and social protection sectors.
While the country has made substantial improvements in
different indicators of access at the aggregate level,
disaggregated data show that disparities in access continue
to exist across demographic and geographical dimensions.
There is some evidence of improvement in the quality of
educational inputs over the years, but the quality of
outcomes remains poor. |
