Case study
Nepal’s Education Equity Index
Veerangna Kohli, Shiba Kumar Sapkota and Ramesh Ghimire
Abstract
This case study summarises why Nepal’s Education Equity Index emerged, how it works as a governance instrument today, what it looks like on the ground, what is missing, and what could strengthen the next phase of its implementation.
The case study explores how a government-led tool has evolved from a policy priority into an operational instrument – now embedded within EMIS and linked to planning and targeted support.
As countries increasingly focus on equity in foundational learning, Nepal’s experience offers important lessons on moving from measurement to management.
