OBJECTIVES
Background of Samata Shiksha Niketan:
In Nepal, thousands of children have no opportunity for quality education. As a result the adult illiteracy rate is around 58% (Unicef statistics, 2005-2009). Although the totally free government-sponsored education system, the quality of education in these schools is very low compared to private schools. The public schools do not provide a good environment of learning, stable conditions, nor are the teachers dedicated to their profession. There is no monitoring and supervision, and the education system is
deteriorating day by day in government-sponsored schools.
On the other hand, high fees for the better-ranking private schools are unaffordable for most of the families. Girls in Nepal are still often kept at home to help with household tasks and therefore they do not receive an education. If they can go to school, their families generally send them to the free government schools, and send their sons to private schools.
