Issues we work on
Ending extreme poverty is not as easy as the rock stars and celebrities advise and there are a huge number of different factors in Nepal that have arguably contributed.
Below is a simplised table showing what we think are the contributing factors to the situation of poverty in Nepal:
| Structural Issues | Quality Issues | Non-educational issues |
| › Distance to school › Dysfunctional schools › Poor quality buildings › Lack of school places › Extreme lack of schools above primary level › Lack of books and teaching materials › Lack of appropriate reading material for the newly literate |
› Lack of teacher motivation › Inflexible education provision › Relevance of curriculum › Non-Nepali language issues › Gender stereotyping and perpetuation of gender bias › Calendar and timings › Lack of joyful learning |
› Poverty / powerlessness › Status of women › Cost to family › Child labour / domestic chores › Battle for survival › Self-perception › Child marriage |
As you can see, we have divided the issues up into problems in the structure of education, problems with the quality of the education available, and problems that are outside education but have an effect upon the situation.
We have grouped together more information on the issues and our proposals for addressing the situation under the titles children, women, communities, and schools.
