Education Summit 2022

The Kantipur Education Summit 2022 is a national-level educational platform organized to address the pressing challenges facing Nepal’s education system. Held under the theme "Bridging the Gap," the summit brings together educators, policymakers, institutions, and students to discuss how to make education more accessible, affordable, and meaningful. Despite education being a constitutional right in Nepal, millions still lack basic literacy, and many students are leaving the country in search of better opportunities. The summit aims to spark critical conversations on reforming the curriculum, raising the quality of education to international standards, and encouraging investment and responsibility from the government and private sectors.
