Nepal’s July–August 2025/26 CPI shows that education costs surged by 7.67%, with rural families facing an even higher increase of 10.40%. Rising tuition fees, costlier school materials, and weak regulation are fueling the spike. Combined with other non-food expenses like clothing and services, this has made non-food inflation (+3.95%) the main driver of overall inflation, even as food prices—especially vegetables—fell.
