Educational Policy Implementation in Highly Marginalized Community of Nepal: An Equity Perspective

摘要

Last march 2013, when I went to Chitwan and Makawanpur district where I got a chance to visit Chepang community and found that the life style of Chepang and living stander of them were totally different than others. Children were playing and staying at home and no one is going to the school. But even they were happy in their day to day life. They had their own culture, honesty, friendly behaviors and helping nature to each others. Then I remembered government public policy for marginalized group and asked myself why public policy is not able to address and implement with equity perspective toward the Chapang community. So, this article argues that policy implementation in flat is not appropriate. If so happened that cannot give desired result and impact in community because of existing socio cultural, political and economic context of the particular community. This article explains public policy implementation with equity perspectives on policy design for disadvantaged community in educational sectors. It tries to see the application of blanket approach based education policy in Nepal and elaborate the ideas with reference to a case study of Chepang community.
