Abstract
This study aims to explore how differently boys and girls receive an allocation of intra-household resources and care in Nepali society, discuss how existing gender discourses affect boys and girls separately, and explore the impact of gender discrimination on boys' and girls' rights to schooling. This study's research method was a review of the previously published and unpublished literature. The results indicate that girls were partially treated during the allocation of intra-households resources and their rights to quality education. The results further suggest that four quite distinct discourses (socio-culture factors, child marriage, religion, and poverty) were crucial indicators of gender discrimination on children's rights to quality education, which have dominated approaches to childhood study over many decades. The implication of this research would be beneficial to educators, teachers, scholars, and regional and local governments to formulate gender related educational policies in Nepal.
