English speaking has evolved in Nepal gradually over the course of time
frames, beginning from the Rana regime. Developing till current day, it has been
incorporated into the mandatory school curriculum in order to help make
students fluent in the language, facings major reforms along the way. The
progression of English has been a gradual process, but it has been dissolved in
everyday life of ordinary people as a necessity rather than a trait, with tourism
being one of the major income sources for the country.
With English being a mandatory subject in school courses, it can be safe to
assume that those children who have attended school have decent command
over the language. The picture isn’t as rosy as it seems though, with the country
having an average literacy rate of 54.1% and with school environment being far
from enough. However, having adequate control over the language has become a
job requirement in many fields leading to a generation enthusiastic to master it.
Thus the language too has been a staple in their lives.
