This study investigates aspects of Nepalese teachers’ lives and work through the portrayals of 12 teachers that are situated within their historical context.

The considerations of teachers experience of life and work has shown that the conceptual framework adopted from a western tradition is insufficient to reveal the foundational worldview and strategic positioning of teachers in Nepal.

As an alternative, the study claims to present a contextual, cultural approach towards understanding teachers’ ideals, beliefs and agency.
