The purpose of this report is to share findings from a consultancy project for the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), funded by the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland through the International Disability Alliance, regarding inclusive and equitable quality education through the medium of sign language for deaf learners in Nepal. These recommendations are based on this report’s review of literature and national and international policy regarding deaf education in Nepal, and analysis of data gathered during fieldwork in Kathmandu and Makwanpur, Parsa, Bara, and Chitwan Districts during March and April 2019, including recommendations from deaf and hearing educators, school administrators, and government authorities.
