Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology

The Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MoEST) of the Government of Nepal oversees the development and implementation of national education policy, curriculum reform, and the advancement of science and technology across Nepal.

IRD's collaboration with MoEST supports our education reform initiatives, election literacy campaigns, policy dialogues, and curriculum development programs — ensuring that our grassroots work is aligned with national policy and can scale across the country's school system.
