This study critically analyzed Nepal's policy implementation challenges of special/inclusive education. Using qualitative data collected through document analysis, interviews, and focus group discussions, this study is based on the premises of qualitative research design under the interpretative paradigm followed by critical interpretive design to analyze and interpret the field data. For this, 15 (fifteen) policy experts from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, Department of Education, university professors, and 11 (eleven) head teachers from 6 (six) special and 5 (five) integrated schools, and special education council members and members of disabled related organizations were purposively selected as the informants. Furthermore, inadequate human resources, lack of necessary budgetary provision, and low level of awareness are the major challenges of special education in Nepal. There is a lack of a separate special education policy in the foundation period, and the responsibility and authority of relevant stakeholders are not explicitly stated. At the practice level, the researcher found a gap in the inductive action plans for implementation across the central, provincial, and local levels of government of Nepal. It was also found that there was no coordination among the Ministry of Education and other line ministries for the implementation of existing policy and provisions. This study implies that coherent policy-making is required through consultation with the relevant stakeholders from the central, provincial, and local levels so that there is a minimum gap in power-sharing among agencies at different levels of governance. Such attempts will ease the implementation of macro policies into the micro contexts.
本研究批判性地分析了尼泊尔特殊/全纳教育的政策实施挑战。本研究采用文献分析、访谈和焦点小组讨论等方法收集的定性数据,以解释性范式下的定性研究设计为前提,采用批判性解释性设计对实地数据进行分析和解释。为此,有针对性地将教育科学技术部和教育部的15名政策专家、大学教授、6所特殊学校和5所综合学校的11名校长、特殊教育委员会委员和残疾人相关团体的会员选定为调查对象。此外,人力资源不足、缺乏必要的预算拨款和意识水平低是尼泊尔特殊教育面临的主要挑战。在成立期间缺乏单独的特殊教育政策,相关利益相关者的责任和权限没有明确规定。在实践层面,研究人员发现尼泊尔中央、省和地方各级政府在实施归纳行动计划方面存在差距。调查还发现,在执行现行政策和规定方面,教育部和其他部门之间没有协调。本研究表明,需要通过与中央、省和地方各级相关利益相关者协商制定连贯的政策,以便在不同治理级别的机构之间的权力分享方面存在最小差距。这种尝试将使宏观政策更容易在微观环境中实施。

This study attempts to identify pre-service teachers' perceptions on the impact of language learning strategies to achieve their academic performances and to findout the importance of language learning strategies to be self-regulated learners. This is a narrative inquiry research design in which an in-depth interview was used as a tool to collect data. Six pre-service teachers who have been studying in Master of Education English fourth semester were selected using a purposive, non-random sampling procedure. The findings of this study show that language learning strategies help second language learners be self-regulated learners; they help them learn quickly, fast, and effectively and help them encounter complicated tasks. Furthermore, language learning strategies help them to develop their self-assessment skills and enhance cooperation and collaborative learning.

Women's Participation in Foreign Labour Migration and Spousal Violence: A Study on Returnee Women Migrant Workers in Nepal 妇女参与外劳迁移与配偶暴力:对尼泊尔回国女工的研究

While existing studies point to a high degree of physical and sexual violence 1against women in Nepal, there is a lack of studies assessing the extent of violence among women who participate in foreign labor migration. This paper tries to fill this research gap by assessing the prevalence of spousal violence against women in overseas employment by using survey and interview data from a non-probability sample of 138 returnee women migrant workers (WMWs). The data used in this paper was collected in Dhading and Rupandehi districts in 2017 by a team of researchers, including the authors of this paper, for a comprehensive study on gender-based violence against WMWs. The study found the rate of lifetime physical violence among WMWs ten percent higher than the national average of 22 percent (MOHP 2012). This rate was highest among Dalit women and women above 35. The physical and sexual violence rates were lowest among women with secondary education or above. Similarly, the rates of physical and sexual violence were lowest among the WMWs whose husbands had secondary or higher levels of education, and the rates were highest among the WMWs whose husbands did not have a formal education. The study found only a weak relationship between women’s participation in labor migration and violence from their husbands and family members. For many WMWs, the violence prevailed in the pre-migration and post-return phases, and some women had participated in labor migration due to the violence in the family itself.
虽然现有的研究表明尼泊尔妇女遭受了严重的身体暴力和性暴力,但缺乏评估参与外国劳工移民的妇女遭受暴力程度的研究。本文通过对138名海归女工(WMWs)的非概率抽样调查和访谈数据,评估了海外就业妇女遭受配偶暴力的普遍程度,试图填补这一研究空白。本文中使用的数据是由包括本文作者在内的一组研究人员于2017年在哈丁和鲁潘德希地区收集的,用于对基于性别的暴力侵害wmw的综合研究。研究发现,WMWs的终生身体暴力发生率比全国平均水平22%高出10%(卫生部2012年)。这一比例在达利特妇女和35岁以上妇女中最高。受过中等及以上教育的妇女的身体暴力和性暴力发生率最低。同样,在丈夫受过中等或以上教育的妇女中,身体暴力和性暴力的发生率最低,而在丈夫没有受过正规教育的妇女中,这一发生率最高。研究发现,妇女参与劳务迁移与其丈夫和家庭成员的暴力行为之间只有微弱的关系。对于许多移徙女工来说,暴力在移徙前和返回后的阶段普遍存在,一些妇女由于家庭本身的暴力而参加了劳务移徙。

Decentralization of Corruption in the Education Sector: An Analysis of Anti- Graft Reports 教育部门腐败的权力下放:反贪污报告分析
Pub Date : 2022-06-27 DOI: 10.3126/mef.v12i01.45938

The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) annual report points out that complaints related to the education sector for financial misuses occupy the largest share consistently in the past few years. In this context, the paper aims to draw on types and patterns of educational corruption in Nepal in the context of education decentralization since 2000. Further, it interprets how it takes place and its associated factors. Undertaking the qualitative content analysis of annual reports of CIAA and Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Nepal between 2010 and 2015, this article portrays financial irregularities taking place consistently under construction work, teacher salary, and student-related grants - showing or allocating more funds, releasing additional teacher salary and inflating student numbers. The existing literature on education decentralization and corruption entails various factors for financial mismanagement - lack of local capacity, elite capture of public funds, etc. Using education decentralization as a theoretical lens (Mc Ginn & Welsh, 1999), this paper argues that poor monitoring and lack of policy implementation are major factors for the misuse of education finance in Nepal, coupled with complex procedural aspects of the public fund flow system. Thus, an adequate support system, especially during the early phase, can facilitate the decentralization of education and combat corruption.
滥用职权调查委员会(CIAA)的年度报告指出,在过去几年中,与教育部门财务滥用有关的投诉一直占据最大份额。在此背景下,本文旨在总结自 2000 年以来教育权力下放背景下尼泊尔教育腐败的类型和模式。此外,本文还解释了腐败的发生方式及其相关因素。本文通过对 2010 年至 2015 年期间尼泊尔中央审计局和审计长办公室(OAG)的年度报告进行定性内容分析,描绘了在建筑工程、教师工资和学生相关补助金方面不断发生的财务违规行为--显示或分配更多资金、发放额外的教师工资和夸大学生人数。关于教育权力下放和腐败的现有文献涉及财务管理不善的各种因素--地方能力不足、精英攫取公共资金等。本文以教育权力下放为理论视角(Mc Ginn & Welsh,1999 年),认为监督不力和政策执行不力是造成尼泊尔教育经费滥用的主要因素,再加上公共资金流动系统程序复杂。因此,一个适当的支持系统,尤其是在早期阶段,可以促进教育权力下放和打击腐败。

This article attempts to investigate the modern medical practices and the major factors triggering the changes in views, attitudes, and practices among the Hyolmos, an indigenous people residing in high hill region, Helambu, the northeast of Sindhupalchok, central Nepal. This ethnographic study with the key informants' interview, participant observation and household census was employed during a year-long fieldwork. The collected data were thematically analyzed and interpreted. The finding shows that the major triggering factors bringing such changes are education, communication, and transportation that increased awareness among the people for choosing alternative opportunities. Tourism and foreign employment raised the economic level that created better financial options for treatment. Conservation of forest was limited to the performance of herbalists and Amchis. To some extent, inter-caste marriage practice and the urbanization process also increased awareness about the use of western medicine.
本文试图调查现代医疗实践和引发Hyolmos人的观点、态度和做法的变化的主要因素,Hyolmos人是居住在尼泊尔中部Sindhupalchok东北部Helambu高山地区的土著人民。本研究采用为期一年的实地调查,主要采用访谈法、参与式观察法和入户调查法。对收集到的数据进行主题分析和解释。研究结果表明,导致这种变化的主要触发因素是教育、交流和交通,这些因素提高了人们选择其他机会的意识。旅游业和外国就业提高了经济水平,为治疗创造了更好的财政选择。对森林的保护仅限于中医和药师的表现。在某种程度上,种姓间的通婚和城市化进程也提高了人们对西医使用的认识。

Building Community Resilience: A Study of Gorkha Reconstruction Initiatives 建立社区复原力:廓尔喀地区重建计划研究
Pub Date : 2021-06-18 DOI: 10.3126/mef.v11i0.37849

This article is based on the major findings of a field study recently conducted in Gandaki  Rural Municipality of Gorkha district after the 2015 earthquake with its epicentre at Barpak of the same district, which quaked  the  region of northern midhills of Nepal. The study examined how far neighbouring households, community organizations, and state agencies contributed to building community resilience in this earthquake affected area. More specifically, it investigated into the efficacy of reaconstruction initiatives to provide relief to the earthquake victims for their recovery. To explore the issue, mixed-method approach of both quantitative and qualitative research was applied. Primary data were collected from the stakeholders through questionnaires and focus group discussions. The convenience sampling method was used to select 116 households from Ward No. 1 of the Municipality. The findings of the research indicate that contribution towards building community resilience was the highest from the neighbouring households followed by community organizations whereas the least contribution was from the state agencies. We found that community resilience practice in the area has not been as effective as expected. So collective and coordinated effort is necessary for building community resilience.
本文基于最近在廓尔喀地区甘达基农村市进行的一项实地研究的主要发现,该研究是在2015年尼泊尔中山北部地区发生地震后进行的,震中位于同一地区的巴帕克。这项研究调查了邻近的家庭、社区组织和国家机构在地震灾区为建立社区恢复力所做的贡献。更具体地说,它调查了重建举措为地震受害者提供救济以帮助他们恢复的功效。为了探讨这一问题,我们采用了定量和定性研究的混合方法。通过问卷调查和焦点小组讨论从利益相关者那里收集了主要数据。采用便利抽样法,从市一区抽取116户。研究结果表明,邻居家庭对建立社区复原力的贡献最大,其次是社区组织,而国家机构的贡献最小。我们发现,该地区的社区弹性实践并没有像预期的那样有效。因此,集体和协调的努力对于建立社区复原力是必要的。

Multifold Impact of COVID-19 on Vulnerable Communities in Nepal 2019冠状病毒病对尼泊尔脆弱社区的多重影响
Pub Date : 2021-06-18 DOI: 10.3126/mef.v11i0.37850
P. Khatiwada
This paper brings out the pressing issue of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its multifold impact on the vulnerable communities such as women, children, elderly people, persons with disabilities, and marginalized groups in Nepal. The study identifies the groups corresponding with the kinds of problems and effects in relation to caste/ethnicity, gender, and age. It also categorizes groups in terms of socio-economic conditions such as employment, income, livelihood, access to basic food, shelter, health and education. The analyses based on these issues contribute to highlighting the protection measures for reducing the level of vulnerability. Both the primary and secondary data were collected through desk review and telephonic interviews among the selected women and underprivileged people of the study area. Findings of this study suggest that the pandemic has serious effects that have been seen on vulnerable communities in the area. Curtailment, reduction and/or stop of regular salary or income of the employees from enterprising sectors can have lasting impact on the overall livelihoods of the vulnerable groups unless they are offered special packages to promote their conditions. The research indicates the pandemic as a humanitarian crisis. In such a crisis, only legal treatment and actions may have adverse effects on the poor and helpless people who have lost their resources due to unavoidable situations like lockdown, prohibition order, and insecurity of their jobs.
本文介绍了新冠病毒病(COVID-19)大流行的紧迫问题及其对尼泊尔妇女、儿童、老年人、残疾人和边缘群体等弱势群体的多重影响。该研究确定了与种姓/种族、性别和年龄相关的问题和影响相对应的群体。它还根据就业、收入、生计、获得基本粮食、住房、保健和教育等社会经济条件对群体进行分类。基于这些问题的分析有助于突出降低脆弱性水平的保护措施。主要和次要数据都是通过案头审查和电话采访在选定的妇女和研究地区的贫困人口中收集的。这项研究的结果表明,该流行病对该地区的脆弱社区产生了严重影响。削减、减少和/或停止企业部门雇员的正常工资或收入可能对弱势群体的整体生计产生持久影响,除非向他们提供特殊的一揽子方案以改善他们的条件。研究表明,这一流行病是一场人道主义危机。在这种危机中,只有法律处理和行动才能对贫困和无助的人产生不利影响,他们由于不可避免的封锁、禁止令和工作不安全等情况而失去了资源。

The analyses based on these issues contribute to highlighting the protection measures for reducing the level of vulnerability. Both the primary and secondary data were collected through desk review and telephonic interviews among the selected women and underprivileged people of the study area. Findings of this study suggest that the pandemic has serious effects that have been seen on vulnerable communities in the area. Curtailment, reduction and/or stop of regular salary or income of the employees from enterprising sectors can have lasting impact on the overall livelihoods of the vulnerable groups unless they are offered special packages to promote their conditions. The research indicates the pandemic as a humanitarian crisis. In such a crisis, only legal treatment and actions may have adverse effects on the poor and helpless people who have lost their resources due to unavoidable situations like lockdown, prohibition order, and insecurity of their jobs.","PeriodicalId":313268,"journal":{"name":"Molung Educational Frontier","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134264537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This theoretical review paper examines the trafficking of women and children in Nepal caused by oppression and socio-economic marginalization and unpacks human trafficking from neoliberal and neoconservative paradigms. It does not discuss human smuggling but instead provides a critical examination of the forces contributing to human trafficking in Nepal according to the neoliberal and neoconservative paradigms. It begins with a brief overview of human trafficking in Nepal and then explores the international frameworks related to human trafficking. It then briefly examines the “4 P” strategy – prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships – related to anti-human trafficking efforts and identifies gaps in practice/policies. It concludes with a critical discussion of the implications for social work. The paper also stresses that anti-trafficking intervention programs and approaches must be accountable and responsive to the aspirations, strengths, wisdom and experiences of the specific community and be sensitive to the external and internal forces contributing to the trafficking they seek counter. It claims that there is a need for participatory action research that invites trafficking survivors to engage in critical dialogue and conversation and help develop integrative strategies to address human trafficking in Nepal. To write this paper, the author critically reviewed secondary data, including qualitative and quantitative studies and NGO publications, but does not claim to provide a comprehensive or systematic analysis of evidence.
这篇理论综述论文考察了尼泊尔因压迫和社会经济边缘化而导致的妇女和儿童贩运,并从新自由主义和新保守主义的范式来剖析人口贩运。它没有讨论人口走私,而是根据新自由主义和新保守主义范式,对尼泊尔人口贩运的力量进行了批判性审查。它首先简要概述了尼泊尔的人口贩运,然后探讨了与人口贩运有关的国际框架。然后简要审查与打击人口贩运工作有关的“4p”战略——预防、保护、起诉和伙伴关系,并指出实践/政策方面的差距。最后对社会工作的影响进行了批判性的讨论。该文件还强调,反贩运干预计划和方法必须对特定社区的愿望、优势、智慧和经验负责,并对其寻求打击的贩运的外部和内部力量敏感。报告称,有必要开展参与性行动研究,邀请人口贩运幸存者参与关键对话和对话,并帮助制定解决尼泊尔人口贩运问题的综合战略。为了撰写本文,作者严格审查了二手数据,包括定性和定量研究以及非政府组织出版物,但并不声称提供全面或系统的证据分析。
