My country Nepal is a south Asian country. It is a developing third world country. Nepal has gone through regime of several dynasties and so has its educational system. History of proper educational system is not very long in Nepal. As a result there are still many weakness and pitfalls in educational systems in Nepal.
The first school of Nepal was established in 1853 and the pupils were handful royal family and Rana family. It took decades for common Nepal citizens to have access to education. Still the literacy rate is said to be below 50% and in that too female literacy is way too low.
The educational system is always interfered and politicized. The government has not been able to provide basic infrastructure for decent education to public. Government schools are usually noted for poor funding and staffing. The academic results are usually poor in comparison to the private school and colleges. The extracurricular activities are out of question in most of the government schools and even in private ones.
The present concept in Nepalese student is that if you want to get quality education then get admitted in private schools and colleges. The problem is that almost all private schools and colleges are expensive and not all commoners can afford it, moreover in private colleges and universities it can be very difficult to get enrolled if you want to apply for professional courses like medical and engineering etc.
Nepalese academic Curriculum is sometimes criticized for its impracticalness. Students basically learn only theories. Even I passed my secondary schools mugging and cramming theories and without ever getting in the laboratories. Now that I have seen colleges of my country and college of this country I feel very sad and pathetic towards the young students of my country.
Apart from that the courses are orthodox and not modernized in time. Books are not published in time and even exams are not held in scheduled times due to political instability. Some missionary schools like Buddhanilkantha, St. Xaviers, St. Marys have set standards for other schools.
