Literacy empowers and liberates people, helping them develop essential capabilities for living a dignified life. It is indeed the wherewithal, which supports individuals to learn a new skill needed to access better job opportunities while playing an important role in reducing poverty and enhancing public health. As per the National Population and Housing Census 2021, the literacy rate of people aged five years and above is 76.2 per cent in Nepal while the literacy rate of people aged 15-60 years stands at 85 per cent.
