Joshi's research analyzed the consequences of private sector growth for the public sector, parental choice, and system wide equity in Nepal.

The analysis included extensive quantitative and qualitative data collection in the country, the development of new frameworks and measures of competition, and in-depth exploration of education officials’ experiences in a politically charged environment.

During the debate, Joshi discussed key findings from the work and provided global lessons that can be drawn from the case study, especially for equity implications and policy recommendations.

Claire Galante, Project Manager at Agence Française de Développement, was also present as discussant, and IIEP’s Michaela Martin acted as the moderator.
