Formal Education to Address Child Labor in Nepal: Strategies Report

This status report focuses on scholarship support programs and successful approaches for reintegrating working children into school. The booklet also includes lessons learned and best practices for coaching classes, mobilizing parents, improving governance, planning curricula, financing schools, and building teacher capacity. Part of a series of thematic strategies reports that combine with a series of status reports to comprise the final report for the Brighter Futures Program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor.
