About Us

Inclusive Education Nepal is an organization in Nepal dedicated exclusively to advancing inclusive education nationwide. Founded with the vision of creating equitable learning environments, we believe that every child, regardless of their abilities, background, or community, deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Our commitment is to bridge the gaps in education by ensuring that schools, communities, and policies are designed to accommodate the diverse learning needs of all children.

Our Goals

Inclusive Education Nepal (IEN) is a national initiative and emerging movement dedicated to making education in Nepal truly inclusive, just, and accessible. Founded by long-time advocates for inclusive education and inclusive justice, IEN champions the idea that no child should be invisible in the classroom and beyond.

IEN is both a response to exclusion and a revolution in how we define quality education, rooted in rights, dignity, and belonging for all.

With deep contextual insight and global best practices, we go beyond policies to reshape education from within classrooms to communities.

What We Do

We collaborate with schools, communities, government agencies, and international partners to transform educational spaces into inclusive environments that celebrate diversity, promote acceptance, and provide equal opportunities for every learner. Through advocacy, training, and innovative programs, Inclusive Education Nepal is reshaping how education is perceived and practiced in Nepal.

The Heart Behind IEN

Discover the story of someone striving to make education more inclusive, one classroom at a time

At Inclusive Education Nepal, we believe that education is not just about access, it is about justice. Every child matters, not because of who they are, but because they are. When every learner is seen, heard, and valued, we do more than include: we transform.

This vision comes from a conviction that justice doesn’t begin in courts. It begins in classrooms where every child belongs. If a child feels unseen or left behind, that is not merely an educational issue — it is a moral one. Through the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and our evolving idea of Universal Design for Justice (UDJ), we are reimagining classrooms as spaces of dignity, participation, and agency: the same foundations that make societies just and peaceful. We call this approach Transformative Inclusive Education because inclusion, when rooted in empathy and equity, transforms not only systems but lives.

Our mission is to work with schools, teachers, policymakers, and communities to create learning environments where difference is celebrated and every child can thrive. This is not a dream, it is a duty. Together, let us make inclusion not just a policy, but a practice of love and justice — building a Nepal where education heals, empowers, and unites.
