However, according to the Human Rights Watch, children with disabilities in Nepal are facing a hard time accessing education. As of 2011, it is estimated that at least 207,000 children in Nepal have disabilities.

The research done by the Human Rights Watch in 2018 shows that many children with disabilities are denied their right to education due to segregation based on physical and intellectual ability. Children interviewed for the survey preferred studying in an inclusive classroom than a segregated one.
