Schools are struggling to provide quality education, especially in the remote mountain areas in Nepal. But with the efforts of dedicated teachers and contributions from the whole community and agencies such as Unicef and Save the Children and their local partners, we found that they are also making important progress.
We took the trip in preparation of the joint annual review of the education sector program to monitor the status of reforms and the general situation facing students and teachers. Ada joined me and the team to Kalikot district which is in the Karnali zone. This is part of a region which is the hardest to reach and where poverty and the lack of basic infrastructure is affecting pretty much everything. Together with government representatives and various development partners we learned more about the real situation on the ground, including all the challenges that people face every day in this part of the country.
Child clubs continue to impress me big time! Involving children is no doubt one of the best ways to promote local accountability and promote every child's right to education!
Here are some pics: Field visit to Kalikot
