About NRC-NFE

The National Resource Center for Non-Formal Education (NRC-NFE) came into existence with the aim of
providing education to all children, youth, and adults through non-formal means because formal
education is rigid, inflexible, time-bound, and place-bound. That type of education will not meet the
needs of many people in Nepalese society, especially rural people. The NRC-NFE believes that education
is much broader than schooling alone. Education could happen at home, farm, forest, street, etc.
Therefore, it would be absurd to equate education only with schooling. Education should provide not
only tools for learning, such as reading, writing, and calculating skills, but also knowledge and skills to
increase income and improve the quality of life for people.
