'Cent percent literacy in five years; 17 percent budget for education sector'

KATHMANDU, Jan 10: The 16th five-year periodic plan which is in the drafting stage now has set a goal to ensure cent percent literacy rate in the country.

The government has set a target to increase the literacy rate to 100 percent in the age group of five years and above within the next five years.

The concept was put forth in a discussion held on Monday and Tuesday on the draft of the 16th periodic plan.

According to the National Planning Commission, currently the literacy rate in the age of five and above is 76.2 only.

The target is being set to increase literacy to cent percent by the end of the 16th plan or the fiscal year of 2085/86.

Likewise, the plan has put forward the target to ensure access to the internet at all schools to improve teaching and learning activities. Though there is access to the internet for teaching and learning in urban schools, all schools across the country don’t have access to the internet.

The internet access rate now is 35.9 percent and it would be increased to cent percent in five years.

However, the targets set in the draft are yet to be finalized, said NPC Member Dr Ramesh Chandra Poudel.

The NPC has also pitched an idea to increase the education sector budget to 17 percent.
