The Constitution of Nepal and Local Government Operation Act 2017 have provisioned education up to secondary level under the jurisdiction of local level government. Now, the local governments are responsible for the management and development of school-level education. To bring about a change in the management of local-level schools in both infrastructure management and quality of education based on current national demand, local governments have to rearrange their education policies and plans as the local facts. Realizing these provisions and needs, Haripuruwa Municipality, Parasa Rural Municipality,
Chandranagar Rurul Municipality & Brahmapuri Rural Municipality of Sarlahi district has started to develop Level Inclusive Education Policies and Guidelines to lead the education development process and bring about quality education. 

The Center for Sustainable Development Studies (CSDS) has got an opportunity to be a part of this historical work imparting technical support in drafting the policies and guidelines. Through the participatory process, respective local governments have organized workshops and meetings and collected primary level input and suggestions with the facilitation of Rastriya Rojgar Prabardhan Kendra (RRPK) Sarlahi and financial support of World Vision International Nepal, World Education, and Handicap International as a part of SIKAI (learning in the local language). Finally, CSDS has prepared drafts of the policies for the local governments separately and endorsed by the local government with their own procedure. 

These policies and guidelines will be supportive to the Palikas to align their plan and program with national policies and programs and contribute to achieving national and international commitments made by the federal government. These policies and guidelines will be milestones for the Education Sections of local governments, schools, disabled people, organizations, SMC/PTAs, women groups, youth, and child clubs for coordinating and engaging in the education development process from an inclusive education perspective.
