SDG 4, Just Education: Ensure equal access to education and opportunities for children and young people from remote communities in Bajura Nepal.

In Nepal, recent federal restructuring coincides with educational challenges: while primary school enrollment is high (91%), secondary rates are low (38.9%). Access to education remains limited, depriving children of prospects. Poverty, unemployment, and unproductive agriculture plague project communities, hindering Nepals development. In Bajura district, despite a 97% enrollment rate, learning outcomes for grade 8 students range from 41-46%. This project aims to address these disparities by providing equitable education and development opportunities, aligning with SDG 4. The goal is to ensure 10,000 children and 2,100 youth in 13 communities have equal access to quality education and future opportunities. Subgoals include establishing monitoring mechanisms, enhancing schooling systems, and strengthening rural economies to reduce vulnerability among children and youth. Structural and social sustainability will be achieved through community involvement and the establishment of Civil Society Organizations.
