Modern education in Nepal began with the establishment of the first school in 1853.In previous day, when Nepal is ruling by autocratic Rana family, educational condition in Nepal is so poor. All Nepalese are uneducated. They couldn't read and go to school because of the autocratic Rana family regime. They didn't give permission to go to school to all Nepalese people.
The first school established in 1853. School established but it was not for general people it was only for the member of the ruling families and their relatives. Only after 1951, the schooling for general people began when a popular people movement ended the autocratic Rana family regime and established a democratic system. There has been a dramatic expansion of educational facilities in the country in the past fifty years. As a result, adult literacy (15+) of the country was reported to be 48.2% (female: 34.6%, male: 62.2%) in the Population Census, 2001, up from about 5% in 1952/54. Beginning from about 300 schools and two colleges with about ten thousand students in 1951, there now are 26 thousand schools (including higher secondary), 415 colleges, five universities and two academies of higher studies. Altogether 5.5 million students are enrolled in those schools and colleges who are served by more than 150 thousand teachers.
There are many challenges and problems despite such examples of success. Some of the critical issues of education in Nepal are access, relevance, educational management, quality etc. Societal disparities based on ethnicity, gender, location, economic class, etc. are yet to be eliminated. A problem resource crunch has always been in education. These problems have made the destination of education for all a challenge for the country. So educational condition in Nepal is satisfiable than the passed year.
