Nepal’s Ministry of Education and Sports was established in 1951 and oversees all aspects of education in the Kingdom of Nepal. There are other government agencies responsible for administering and supervising education at the different levels, but all report to the ministry.

Prior to 1951, schooling in Nepal was reserved primarily for elite groups and the royal family in Kathmandu and other urban areas, and served just 250 students. Political reforms in 1951 opened access to schooling and participation rates have risen exponentially since then, but still remain low relative to other countries in the region and globally.
The government has committed to achieving the goals of UNESCO’s Education for All initiatives that would see all students of primary age accessing good quality primary education by 2015. There are now over 34,000 primary and secondary schools in the country, nine university-level institutions with over a 1,000 colleges and affiliated campuses.
