A national initiative dedicated to making education in Nepal truly inclusive, just, and accessible through Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. Promoting inclusive education, universal design, special needs education, and inclusive safeguarding.
Inclusive Education Nepal is both a response to exclusion and a revolution in how we define quality education, rooted in rights, dignity, and belonging for all.
Our flagship initiative turns traditional schools into inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
We aim to promote UDL in Nepal in a way that it reaches all schools of Nepal. UDL is also Universal Design for Justice.
We help schools develop inclusive safeguarding as per the laws, and more importantly, by including the needs of children with disabilities.
Universal Design for Learning is a framework that provides all students with equal opportunities to learn. It recognizes that learners vary in how they perceive, navigate, and engage with information.
Stimulate interest and motivation for learning through different approaches.
Present information in different ways to accommodate diverse learning styles and preferences.
Provide various ways for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.
Comprehensive training and development programs designed to transform education.
Our flagship initiative, Inclusive Schools Transformation, helps schools move from traditional to transformative learning environments where every child belongs. This initiative reimagines education from the ground up, not as a system that merely accommodates difference, but one that celebrates diversity as its foundation.

Every child has the right to feel safe, respected, and free from harm — not only in homes and communities, but especially in schools where learning and trust should grow side by side. At Inclusive Education Nepal, we believe that safeguarding is inclusion in action. Inclusive safeguarding goes beyond compliance: It’s about building school cultures that care, listen, and protect, where every child’s dignity and voice are valued equally.

The earliest years of life shape who we become — how we learn, relate, and imagine the world. At Inclusive Education Nepal, we believe that inclusion must begin from the very start — in early childhood classrooms, care centers, and homes where children first experience belonging.

Inclusive education can only transform systems when policy meets practice and research meets reality. At Inclusive Education Nepal, we bridge this gap, turning classroom experiences into policy insights and policy commitments into classroom change. Our research and advocacy efforts aim to influence how Nepal understands, funds, and implements inclusive education, ensuring that every reform is rooted in equity, evidence, and empathy.

Teachers are at the heart of inclusive education. Every classroom becomes inclusive only when teachers are supported, confident, and inspired to reach every learner. At Inclusive Education Nepal (IEN), we believe that empowering teachers means transforming education from within. Our capacity training programs help educators not only gain new skills, but also new ways of seeing their students — as unique learners with different strengths, needs, and voices.

Inclusive education is not only about bringing children into classrooms, it is about making them feel safe, valued, and heard. Restorative practices create spaces where every voice matters, especially those who are often ignored. Here is a document regarding what restorative practices relate to inclusive education in learning settings.

Language-based exclusion is often the first injustice children face in school. If we ignore mother tongues, we quietly tell children their identity does not belong in education.
The UNESCO Salamanca Statement, adopted in 1994 at the World Conference on Special Needs Education in Salamanca, Spain, marked a historic turning point in global education. It declared that inclusive education should be the foundation of education systems, where schools welcome all learners regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic, or other conditions. The Statement emphasized that education is a fundamental human right and that schools must adapt to the diverse needs of children rather than expecting children to fit rigid systems.
Your voice, expertise, in-kind support or financial contribution helps us expand teacher training, strengthen safeguarding systems and reach more schools across Nepal.
