Critical Reflection
Historically policy-making process in Nepal is dominant by technocrats, ruling elite and high cast peoples. It is evident that policy maker’s work in their own interest. Nepali education policy is formed reformed by same or similar oligarchs of the country. Until recently, education policy is developed centrally discouraging the local need. Despite good-looking esthetic educational goal, it is discourse for general public especially for poor and marginalized people of the country. During Rana regime, education was not accessible to the general public but for the elites only and educational philosophy was to teach and promote Hindu philosophy to Ruling elite and high cast people.
All previous educational system including current serves the high caste Hindu oligarch, As Grindle & Thomas(1991) argued ruling elites has the power to make and implement the decisions and it is obvious that they promote their interests. Education system implemented 'only' Nepali language in the school as a result people and their voice are not represented. Despite Nepal is a secular by law and multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious country; Nepali is still used instructional language in public schools. Education system is still predominantly Hindu ideals which is used as tool to eliminate the diversity of the country.
Two separate education system is prevalent in the country which is creating huge gap between private and public education system. Globalization and westernized policy regime brought, privatization of the education system which eventually effecting poor and the marginalized population to access the quality higher education. Government is not offering quality education to public institutions, therefore it i...

    Since countries and cities are different, it seems that it is difficult to compare different education systems. With the influence of the globalization, the social problems tend to be common problems in the world. Canada and China are in different education systems but still have the same problem with educational equity. With the period change and policies seems to be improve by the government in both countries. When facing with the ethnic minority communities, China used several methods to give privilege to the groups in order to improve their education level. For example, after 1977, the educational policy was more in favor of the minority groups by empowering certain ethnic regions with the ability to administer the exams in the local language

    In Nepal, I experienced both the progressive style of family living and the older medieval style where custom and tradition count first no matter what. More than 90% of the people in Nepal who were born between 1978 and 1998 (the Generation Y youth) still live in old medieval-style families where cultural rules govern everyday life. The people of Nepal are socially segmented along lines of caste, sub-caste and ethnicity, and values and traditions also differ from one caste to another.

  • Personal Statement For Becoming A UB Graduate Student

    1103 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mr. Russell’s A History of Western Philosophy enlightened my deep thinking about truth. Then I read Mr. Rousseau 's of the Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right, and became a believer of social contract theory; I also self-studied some of Weber’s, Marx’s and Durkheim’s sociology thoughts, but the two-year preparation for Master study put an abeyance on my reading plan. Regarding to the educational philosophy, I self-studied the thoughts as ancient as Quintilian’s and Comenius’s, and as modern as Horace Mann’s, Dewey’s and Dr. Weis’ educational thoughts. Moreover, my teaching and administrating experience in both private for-profit education organization and in public schools in China plus the study of the real-life problems and contemporary researches in UB, generate a deep feeling that education studies should become an independent, open and scientific field of study. Furthermore, during my master study, I encountered numerous materials about social injustice, cultural prejudice, racial discrimination and political corruption which are all jeopardizing education practices, but most of our debates in the classroom were difficult to generate constructive suggestion. It is always good to have different opinions, but our discussions rely too heavily on individual’s life experience and it is no doubt that when the empiricism prevails, science dims. This observation motivates me to explore the education studies in a more scientific way. I hope my future effort will enable people to discuss and solve education problems on a scientific track, so that the education system in human society will be the secure for educating the “ideal human

    A dusty, one-room schoolhouse on the edge of a village. An overworked teacher trying to manage a room full of boisterous children. Students sharing schoolbooks that are in perpetual short supply, crammed in rows of battered desks. Children worn out after long treks to school, stomachs rumbling with hunger.

Such is the daily dilemma faced by many young people in the developing world as they seek to obtain that most precious of all commodities, an education.

    Another reason for a lack of good access to public health care for the Nepalese women is caused by religion. The major religions in Nepal are hinduism (82.62%), buddhism (10.74%), islam (4.20%), kirant (3.60%), and christianity (0.45%). Previously the economic and political power was centralized interlinking it with the Hindu caste system since the majority of the Nepalese population are Hindus. The hindu caste system consisted of the Brahmins(priests) at the top of the pyramid, Kshatriya (warriors and Kings) just beneath, followed by Vaishya (Merchants) and the Sudra (peasants and labourers), and at the bottom of the pyramid were the “untouchables” (butchers, carcass and waste cleaners). Although Nepal was declared a secular country in 2006 and the caste system abolished, the hierarchy in the caste system still lingers on.

Nowadays, the education is shaped to an official system run by professional people in governments and many countries invest high amounts towards education which makes evidence of how important it is in our current life.
