This three-year project launched on October 1, 2017 is an attempt to develop, pilot test, and conduct research with a set of tools that education officials, community organizations, and education researchers can use to support ongoing efforts toward a well-organized system of social accountability in the Nepalese education system. Specifically, there are two aims of the study:

  • To develop and pretest a suite of Nepali Accountability Assessment Tools (NAATs) for use by the Nepal Ministry of Education (MoE) and to pilot these tools within the Chitwan Valley of Nepal.
  • To investigate how accountability processes; environments for student learning in schools, families, and communities; and student learning are related. This involves investigating three main research questions:
  • Are accountability processes systematically related to socioeconomic disparities among communities, schools within communities, and families within schools?
  • In school and community settings where accountability processes are more intensive, is the quality of instructional service delivery higher?
  • Controlling for socioeconomic disparities related to student achievement is student learning higher in schools and communities where accountability processes are more intensive?
