The index measures each country’s distance to the frontier of complete education and full health for a child born today. The measure includes survival (will children born today survive to school age?), school (how much schooling will they complete and how much will they learn?), and health (will they leave school in good health, ready for further learning and/or work as adults?).</p> <p> Nepal’s score of 0.49 out of a maximum possible score of 1 means that a child born in Nepal today will be 49 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. The HCI highlights that Nepal is a good performer with respect to childhood survival: 97 out of 100 children born today survive to the age of five. A significant proportion of these children, however, suffer from stunting: 36 out of 100 children are stunted, meaning they carry a lifelong risk of cognitive and physical limitations. The education component of the HCI shows that children in Nepal can expect to complete 11.7 years of school by age 18. However, when years of schooling are adjusted for quality of learning, this is only equivalent to 6.9 years: a learning gap of 4.8 years.</p> <p> “Nepal’s human capital index is higher than the average for its region and income group, which is a positive sign,” said Faris Hadad-Zervos, World Bank’s country manager for Nepal. “To further improve this, the World Bank is committed to working with the Government of Nepal to mobilize better and more efficient investment in people to ensure a globally competent generation.”</p> <p> The Index is part of the World Bank Group’s Human Capital Project, which recognizes human capital as driver of inclusive growth.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-12', 'modified' => '2018-10-12', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9083', 'image' => '20181012043227_WB.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-12 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9303', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Micromax launches Q4002 BOLT 4', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 12: Micromax has announced the launch of Q4002 BOLT 4 in the market.', 'content' => '<p>October 12: Micromax has announced the launch of Q4002 BOLT 4 in the market.</p> <p>Billed as one of the finest premium smartphones, the Q4002 powered by 1.0 GHz quad-core processor comes with 1GB RAM, the company said in a statement.

The index measures each country’s distance to the frontier of complete education and full health for a child born today. The measure includes survival (will children born today survive to school age?), school (how much schooling will they complete and how much will they learn?), and health (will they leave school in good health, ready for further learning and/or work as adults?).</p> <p> Nepal’s score of 0.49 out of a maximum possible score of 1 means that a child born in Nepal today will be 49 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. The HCI highlights that Nepal is a good performer with respect to childhood survival: 97 out of 100 children born today survive to the age of five. A significant proportion of these children, however, suffer from stunting: 36 out of 100 children are stunted, meaning they carry a lifelong risk of cognitive and physical limitations. The education component of the HCI shows that children in Nepal can expect to complete 11.7 years of school by age 18. However, when years of schooling are adjusted for quality of learning, this is only equivalent to 6.9 years: a learning gap of 4.8 years.</p> <p> “Nepal’s human capital index is higher than the average for its region and income group, which is a positive sign,” said Faris Hadad-Zervos, World Bank’s country manager for Nepal. “To further improve this, the World Bank is committed to working with the Government of Nepal to mobilize better and more efficient investment in people to ensure a globally competent generation.”</p> <p> The Index is part of the World Bank Group’s Human Capital Project, which recognizes human capital as driver of inclusive growth.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-12', 'modified' => '2018-10-12', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9083', 'image' => '20181012043227_WB.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-12 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9303', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Micromax launches Q4002 BOLT 4', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 12: Micromax has announced the launch of Q4002 BOLT 4 in the market.', 'content' => '<p>October 12: Micromax has announced the launch of Q4002 BOLT 4 in the market.</p> <p>Billed as one of the finest premium smartphones, the Q4002 powered by 1.0 GHz quad-core processor comes with 1GB RAM, the company said in a statement.
