Economic, social, cultural, and geographic barriers exist in rural Nepal that prevent many girls from successfully reaching higher levels of education. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying the enabling environments and support systems that have allowed girls from the rural and mountainous Solukhumbu District of Nepal to successfully reach “college”-level education in class levels 11 and 12, despite the presence of extant barriers to their educational success. Results indicate that 4 primary factors create the foundation of educational success for girls: the motivation and determination of the girl to succeed in education; the support of the girls' families and the commitment of the families to education; the egalitarian treatment of all students at all levels of school by teachers; and the financial and lodging support provided by the Salleri Girls' Hostel for Higher Education, run by a local nongovernmental organization (NGO). Results show success is achieved through financial support programs; family support, both in terms of motivation and encouragement and through reducing girls' domestic and family care responsibilities; increasing awareness of the benefits of education in communities; and support offered by NGO programs. Recommendations for effective future initiatives to support girls' education in the region include the establishment of more hostels for girls, offering financial support to families, and leading community awareness programs about education.

尼泊尔农村存在经济、社会、文化和地理障碍，阻碍了许多女孩成功接受更高水平的教育。开展这项研究的目的是确定有利环境和支持系统，这些环境和支持系统使尼泊尔农村和山区的女孩能够在 11 级和 12 级成功接受“大学”级教育，尽管存在障碍对他们的教育成功。结果表明，4个主要因素为女孩的教育成功奠定了基础：女孩成功接受教育的动机和决心；女孩家庭的支持和家庭对教育的承诺；教师平等对待各级学校的所有学生；以及由当地非政府组织 (NGO) 经营的萨勒里女子高等教育宿舍提供的财务和住宿支持。结果表明成功是通过财政支持计划取得的；家庭支持，包括激励和鼓励，以及通过减少女孩的家务和家庭照顾责任；提高对社区教育益处的认识；以及非政府组织项目提供的支持。有关支持该地区女童教育的未来有效举措的建议包括为女童建立更多宿舍，为家庭提供财政支持，以及领导有关教育的社区意识计划。结果表明成功是通过财政支持计划取得的；家庭支持，包括激励和鼓励，以及通过减少女孩的家务和家庭照顾责任；提高对社区教育益处的认识；以及非政府组织项目提供的支持。有关支持该地区女童教育的未来有效举措的建议包括为女童建立更多宿舍，为家庭提供财政支持，以及领导有关教育的社区意识计划。结果表明成功是通过财政支持计划取得的；家庭支持，包括激励和鼓励，以及通过减少女孩的家务和家庭照顾责任；提高对社区教育益处的认识；以及非政府组织项目提供的支持。有关支持该地区女童教育的未来有效举措的建议包括为女童建立更多宿舍，为家庭提供财政支持，以及领导有关教育的社区意识计划。
