National Campaign for Education Nepal (NCE Nepal) is a national level network working
towards ensuring the right to education and lifelong learning of children and adults in Nepal
through advocacy, lobby and campaign activities. Established in 2003 as a Nepal Chapter of
Global Campaign for Education (GCE), NCE Nepal also holds the status of UN ECOSOC
organization. Along with capacity enhancement of civil society organizations, advocacy
through research and evidence is one of the priority works of NCE Nepal. It is provisioned in
Nepal’s constitution that the state should provide free and compulsory basic education and free
secondary education. With the growing influence of private institutions in the education sector
of Nepal, it is necessary to monitor and regulate these private institutions as well as strengthen
the public schools.
