NCE Nepal looks forward to hosting GCE’s 6th World Assembly

“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.” This African proverb encapsulates NCE Nepal’s reflections on the upcoming GCE 6th World Assembly

NCE Nepal believes the power of advocacy triples when the international community, unites and collaborates under a shared common vision. To host the sixth GCE World Assembly is an incredible opportunity to showcase NCE Nepal’s work, profile, policies and advocacies that aim to strengthen public education throughout the region. We look forward to welcoming our global partners to the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu.

NCE Nepal embraces the opportunity to bring together CSOs working for the Right to Education from more than 100 countries. As a member of GCE, hosting this momentous event with the participation of the high level delegates including national and international guests amplifies the strength of NCE Nepal and provides an opportunity for networking, stronger rapport building with the government, increasing the chance for more positive engagement of CSOs in government led forums.

There is an urgency for CSOs, such as NCE Nepal, to always engage critically and constructively with the government. This 6thWorld Assembly provides the space for CSOs to escalate the free quality, public education call to governments, development partners and other agencies and highlights the significant role CSOs play globally and nationally to promote and transform the public education system.
