Education is compulsory in Nepal
for five years between the ages of six and 11. The entrance age to education
preceding the first level is three, Secondary education includes a two-year
lower secondary school and a three-year general high school. Enrollment ratios
for males and females at the primary level rose sharply in the past decade
owing to the introduction of a three-year primary school in 1975. In 1983 the
ratio for males and females was 73% (102 for males and 42 for females). At the
secondary level, the figure for males and females was 21% (32 for males and 9
for females). Further evidence of enrollment inequities is provided by the fact
that only 20% (102,902) of the total pupils enrolled in the secondary grades
are female. Most of the females (57%) enrolled in primary school are studying
in the first grade and only 6% of females studying in the secondary school are
in the tenth grade.

Secondary Education System in East Germany
Secondary schooling begins after
completion of the 10-year general poly-technical high school, when pupils enter
differing programs of education and vocational training. A small number go on
to the university preparatory Extended High School (EOS); a larger group
enrolls in specialized colleges (Fachschulen) for professional training
(discussed in the section on higher education); and the majority of young
people being apprenticeship training leading to qualification as a skilled
worker, some programs of which also grant the Abitur.

Preprimary And Primary Education In East Germany
Although
compulsory education does not begin until the first grade, the GDR has an
extensive system of preschool facilities in the form of community, factory,
collective and church run kindergartens. After a massive building campaign in
the 1970s, there are now kindergartens for all children whose parents wish them
to attend; and well over 90% of children between the ages of three and five are
enrolled. Kindergarten in the GDR is a three years program, with the children
divided into three different classes according to age. As an integral part of
the socialist education system under the Ministry of Public Education, the
program is paid for by the state; there is only a small charge for meals. As a
convenience for working parents, kindergartens are all day facilities; some
even are open into the early evening. The children receive regular medical
checkups as part of the kindergarten program, in addition to being a convenient
means of healthcare, the intent of the program is to detect possible medical
problems early hearing or vision loss, need for dental care, posture defects,
etc. In the three-year program, emphasis is placed on teaching the children to
think for themselves, to speak clearly and correctly, to take responsibility
and participate actively in the collective, and to Rapid themselves
imaginatively during fine art furthermore music. Physical exercise and training
are also stressed. In the last year of kindergarten, the children are prepared
for beginning school, but no attempt is made to anticipate school learning.

Educational System in East Germany
Education falls in the purview of the state and is centrally
directed. The concept of the one uniform, socialist system of education (first
formulated in 1965 applies to all levels of education. The only exception to
this principle is a scattering of church-run institutions; kindergartens;
training programs for kindergarten teachers, nurses and others who will be
employed in church institutions; and three Protestant seminaries. In 1983 there
were 5,880 primary, secondary and special schools with 103,029 classes in the
GDR. Something over two million (2,076,909) pupils were taught by 171,914
teachers: 12.1 pupils for each fully employed teacher; the average class size
was 20.2 pupils.
