The whitewashed building of a primary school in Kaalopaani en route from Ghasa to Tukche, Nepal.

Formal Nepalese schools are often built with the help of foreign aid. An ever-increasing number of children go to school, although there are still many who cannot because their families cannot afford to pay for books, uniforms and fees. Often school-aged children are needed to help with domestic work as well.
