School enrollment campaign: Will it be able to change Nepal's future?
From April 16th, "School enrollment campaign" has started in Nepal. In order to increase the number of educated people, the government of Nepal started this program and it has been going on for the last five years. The three week campaign will be observed all over the country.

The program is targeting more than one thousand children around the country who have not received any primary education. Nepal News reports:

The Department further said that this campaign will run for the next three weeks during which time not only children coming to schools will get admission but the education officials would themselves also go to each and every house asking parents to admit their children in schools.

Janardan Sharma, director of DOE, informed that from this year on children below the age of 5 years would not be admitted in the primary level like in the past years. Instead they will be admitted in pre-primary or kindergarten schools, he said.

Nepalese children in school 

Currently, there are around half a million children in Nepal who do not have any access to primary education.

This is undoubtedly a very good initiative. The election is over and Nepal is going to see its first democratic government. Poverty, political instability, and illiteracy are some of the major challenges it will face. In the long run, democracy will only
become successful if people are aware of their rights and privileges and know to
apply them properly. In this regard, eradication of illiteracy should be one of the
prime concerns of the newly formed government. I hope and pray that the new
government of Nepal becomes successful in turning the country around and make it prosperous.
