초록

In this paper, we analyzed the development of special education in Nepal in order to explore the gaps and identifies the strategies imperative to adopt in achieving the goal suggested by the UNESCO ' Education for All (EFA)' and ' Millennium Development Goals (MDG)'. Effort in special education in order to achieve these goals lacks the strong legal base and the right to education to students with disabilities is not guaranteed appropriately. Due to the poor classification system of disability and inappropriate diagnostic procedures, complexity has been risen to find out the educational needs providing necessary educational services. Although there are special and integrated schools, there is the little capacity to meet the demand of special education. To face these challenges, an extra effort with collaboration with various partners through fast track measures is recommended to ensure quality education for all children providing equitable access. To resolve the challenges those are hindering in the development of special education in Nepal, a model for reliable assessment, identification of disability, proper intervention on time, and capacity development through the overall policy review are proposed.

Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the development of special education in Nepal in order to explore the gaps and identifies the strategies imperative to adopt in achieving the goal suggested by the UNESCO ' Education for All (EFA)' and ' Millennium Development Goals (MDG)'. Effort in special education in order to achieve these goals lacks the strong legal base and the right to education to students with disabilities is not guaranteed appropriately. Due to the poor classification system of disability and inappropriate diagnostic procedures, complexity has been risen to find out the educational needs providing necessary educational services. Although there are special and integrated schools, there is the little capacity to meet the demand of special education. To face these challenges, an extra effort with collaboration with various partners through fast track measures is recommended to ensure quality education for all children providing equitable access. To resolve the challenges those are hindering in the development of special education in Nepal, a model for reliable assessment, identification of disability, proper intervention on time, and capacity development through the overall policy review are proposed.
