Description
Despite the extensive work that has been done and continues to take place in the field of literacy in Nepal, it was not until very recently that literacy activity in Nepal was reflected in writing. Increasingly, however, literacy practitioners in Nepal are realizing the importance of documenting their experiences, and literature devoted to the following aspects of literacy in Nepal is now available: family literacy, learner-generated materials, the language experience approach, legal literacy, and participatory videotape. More than two-thirds of publications on these topics date from the 1990s. A large amount of those publications have been produced for or by specific projects, either as evaluation reports or proposals. Only a few articles examining issues or even the history of literacy developments in Nepal have been published. Most available literature on literacy in Nepal has been produced by international agencies for their own internal use and must therefore be read in the context of planning and evaluating a specific literacy project or program. The material on literacy in Nepal that does exist is widely scattered and therefore difficult to obtain in Nepal or the United Kingdom. Many publications must be requested from the individual agencies concerned. (Contains 70 references.) (MN)
