Nationalizing schools in Nepal

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, language: English, abstract: In fact the role of the private sector in enhancing the development of different sectors of the society can hardly be exaggerated. Especially the capital, skills, aptitudes and entrepreneurship of the private sector have always been found to be of immense importance in the economic development of any nation. However, there are debates over the commercialization and commoditization of education in Nepal. In this issue, I argue that the government should shoulder the responsibility of educating the people by nationalizing the schools and it cannot be given to the private sector whose chief objective is profit maximization. In doing so I have used critical theories to analyze the need of nationalizing schools in Nepal. and have tried to establish the logic that the schools should be nationalized and every persons access to education should be ensured.
