Assignment Report: Gender Audit of Nepal's School Sector Reform Programme

Abstract

A gender audit was carried out to assess the extent to which the education system in Nepal is making progress on gender equality. The three main objectives were to; review key gender issues in schools, assess the School Sector Reform Programme (SSRP) and related plans and processes, and analyse institutional gender issues affecting the education system.

This report contains the findings of the audit, which will feed into the medium-term review of the SSRP. The audit design was aimed at ensuring the validity of data and rigour in analysis. The consultants collected and analysed primary and secondary data from relevant sources at the national, district and school levels. Approximately 80 stakeholders were interviewed and many documents and study reports were analysed.
