The Nepal CLC Project

The National Resource Center for Non-Formal Education (NRC-NFE), Nepal, and the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan (NFUAJ) have implemented the Nepal Community Learning Center Project (NCLCP) under the World Terakoya Movement (WTM) since 2002 in Rupandehi and Kapilbastu districts. A total of 21 community learning centers (CLCs) in 8 districts of Nepal under the NCLCP were supported by WTM until July 2020. 

With the support of the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan (NFUAJ), the Nepal CLC Project has expanded its activities in the new areas, extending coverage in the latest areas of Rupandehi, Kapilvastu, and Nawalparasi districts from 2020. The project now includes 23 new CLCs (10 from Rupandehi, 10 from Kapilvastu, and 3 from Nawalparasi districts).

The project's overall objective is to provide access to basic education for out-of-school children and school dropouts, especially young girls, by conducting alternative schooling programs to enable them to enroll in the formal education system (school). To assist in early childhood development while raising consciousness among parents and guardians and creating a learning environment for families about social ills, such as child marriage, by making use of CLCs as a delivery mechanism for non-formal education.
