Adaptation, Translation, and Contextualization of Inclusive Learning Approach (ILA) Module (English to Nepali) and Provision of Training

1. Background

The Parent Federation of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PFPID) Nepal, established in 2012, is a national umbrella organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of persons with intellectual disabilities in Nepal. As part of its mission to promote inclusive education, PFPID is currently implementing the Collective Action for Disability Rights (CADiR) Nepal Program, within which inclusive education is one of the key thematic areas; PFPID leads the implementation of this thematic area among the consortium organizations in Nepal.

The Collective Action for Disability Rights (CADiR) Nepal is a consortium program initiated in late 2023 and formally established in 2025. The consortium partners, Parent Federation of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PFPID)- Nepal, Nepal Association of the Blind (NAB), National Federation of the Disabled Nepal (NFD-N), National Federation of the Deaf Nepal (NDFN), and Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh (NNJS) Dang / Eye Health Program (EHP), have committed to collaborative efforts to reach its common goals for persons with disabilities in Nepal. 

2. About the Inclusive Learning Approach (ILA)

The Inclusive Learning Approach (ILA) is part of the CADiR Nepal plan within the thematic area Inclusive Education. Seven modules (details below) have been developed originally by the Enabling Education Network (EE-Net), a long-term Atlas partner and adapted by several organizations in various countries over the years. The ILA fosters inclusive, equitable, and learner-centered educational practices.

To maximize accessibility and relevance for Nepali-speaking educators, Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), and other stakeholders, the modules must be adapted to align with Nepal’s educational framework, including the National Education Policy-2020, Compulsory and Free Education Act-2075, Local Government Operation Act-2074, and School Education Sector Plan (SESP 2022-2032). 

This adaptation should reflect Nepal’s diverse cultural and social contexts, such as multilingual classrooms, caste and ethnic inclusivity, gender equity, and accessibility for remote and marginalized communities, while addressing challenges like geographical disparities and resource constraints in rural areas.

Major Eligibility Criteria:

• Master's degree in education, preferably in Inclusive Education or Pedagogy.
• At least five years of professional teaching experience within Nepal’s education institutions. 
• At least five years of experience as a trainer for school teachers.
