Modern Education in Nepal began with the establishment of the first school in 1853. However, this was school was only for the members of the ruling families and their courtiers. Schooling for general public began only after 1951 when a popular movement ended the autocratic Rana family regime and initiated a democratic system. In the past fifty years, there has been a dramatic expansion of education system in the country. Beginning from about 300 schools and two colleges with about ten thousand students in 1951, there now are 26 thousands schools (including higher secondary), 415 colleges, five universities and two academic of higher studies. Altogether 5.5 million students are enrolled in those schools and colleges who are served by more than 150 thousand teachers. Despite such examples of success, there are problems and challenges.

Societal disparities based on gender, ethnicity, location, economic class, etc. are yet to be eliminated. Resource crunch has always been a problem in education. These problems have made the goal of education for all a challenge for the country
