Nepal is a developing country. As Nepal is a developed country, we are developing in various sectors like agriculture, services, etc. We are also seeing a huge development in the education sector. In all the sectors where Nepal is developing, there are minor and major problems. In the education sector alone, we have various issues like rural education, gender-neutral education, teacher training, etc. We can find various other issues in the education sector of Nepal. The Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology is currently not fixing the problems.
Education is one of the most essential factors in the development of a country. It helps stabilize the economic state of the country. It also improves health services, decreases poverty, brings peace, etc. When they go to schools, colleges, or universities, they get a proper education. They get ideas about what is right and what is wrong, which improves the literacy rate of the country.
In Nepal, we have lots of schools, but in most of the schools, there is a lack of quality education. In the rural parts of Nepal, we can see that there are not many qualified teachers. In many parts of Nepal, there is a lack of schools, teachers, and classrooms. People from rural areas have to come to urban areas to get a proper education, or they have to travel a very long way to schools. People also go to foreign countries to study due to the quality of education in Nepal.
In our society, we have seen many different social problems and superstitions. People believe in superstitions due to a lack of education. The problems also exist because people are not well educated. Due to a lack of education, people believe in superstitions. Moreover, in Nepal, teachers do not have access to proper equipment. There is also a very poor fund for education in Nepal. The curriculum is very old and has to be improved. The curricula being taught also do not prepare students for the future. The classroom in rural areas is also very old. Some of the classrooms lack chairs, tables, benches, etc. Some students have to travel long distances to get to their schools. Students living in rural areas mostly do not have access to technology. The students who are not familiar with things like computers, phones, etc. In our current world, technology is rapidly growing. So, we must have basic knowledge of technology.
Economically, Nepal is a poor country. Lots of people live in poverty. The people suffering from poverty are not able to study because they can not  pay the fee for the school. In Nepal, disabled people are bullied, and people are discriminated against for their caste, gender, etc. Due to this, they are not able to focus on their studies. So academically, they are not as strong.
So in conclusion, schools should upgrade their curriculums, teach about digital items, raise more funds, remove superstition, provide quality education, renovate classrooms, and provide the necessary equipment.
