How Nepal schools reinforce gender stereotypes and why it is a problem

What happens when a teacher tells a student that she should not worry about her studies?

I distinctly remember that day when my teacher told me and my friends so. “Girls, you don’t have to worry… because you are being raised by your father now, and later your husband will earn you a living. And, boys from within Kathmandu, you also don’t have to study hard because you can easily make money from your parental property. But, for boys outside the valley, you must study hard to get the best job and make a living for you, your family and your wife in future.”
