Education in Nepal has been modeled on the Indian system, which is in turn the legacy of the old British Raj.[1] The National Examinations Board (NEB) supervises all standardized tests. The Ministry of Education is responsible for managing educational activities in Nepal. The National Center for Educational Development (NCED)[2] is Nepal's teacher-training body.
Primary education in Nepal is called Basic Education and consists of grades one through eight. Secondary levels are grades nine to twelve.
In 2021, the literacy rates of the country were 71.2% (81% for males and 63.3% for females).[3] The April 2015 earthquake destroyed schools and severely impacted the nation's ability to keep its remaining schools open.
