Abstract
The history of education system is not so long in Nepal. The common Nepalese people did not get the formal education at the time of Rana regime. At that time, education system of Nepal was in a very deprived condition. After democracy (1951), the new democratic political system made provision for education for common Nepalese people. Since then, Nepal has targeted to increase the literacy rate along with education attainment of the common people in each short term and long-term development plans. The main aim of this study is to analyze the literacy rate in Nepal based on sex, place of residence, development zone and geographical region. It is found that the rate of increase of literacy is 10.64% in each census year over the last 70 years where as male literacy is increased as 11.27% and female literacy is increased as 8.09 % at the same time duration. It also found that there is no any evidence to infer that average of literacy rate differ among the five development regions (p value > 0.05).It is believed that the findings of this paper may facilitate planners and decision makers for formulating policies and programs regarding development of education sector of nation.
