Author(s) Tek Bahadur Oli
Country Nepal
Abstract The paper intends to explore the issues of social inclusion while development curriculum by the local governments in Rukum District (West). It includes the research questions ahead: How is a process of local curriculum decided? Why are the issues of caste discrimination and untouchability ignored in the contents of curriculum? The approved drafts of the curriculum were used as the primary sources. The published sources were used as secondary sources of information. It found that the contents of local curriculums were based on the local resources and lakes. The political history and movements were chosen as the contents of the local curriculum. The issues of Dalits like the history of caste system, prevailing laws and conventions against the racial and caste discrimination were not included in the gamut of the contents. There are unequal power relations between the Dalits and non-Dalits in the society. Dalits are still discriminated and oppressed in the society directly and indirectly despite the political changes. Dalits have low access and control over the decision-making processes of local governments. The curriculum enactment process is well-captured by the local academic and political elites. The sufferings and anecdotes of the local people are not consulted during consultation and deliberation. It is discussed that Dalits are supposed to be lowest rung in the society. The social, cultural and political processes ignore the Dalit aspirations. Dalits need to be organized for their group rights and the advocacy by the civil society network and organizations is need of the time.
Keywords Curriculum development, consultation, Dalits, education, social inclusion.
