Justification of Technological University
Justification of Technological University
About four million school going age population in Nepal.
About one million population is out of school.
There are 80-85% droop-outs and failure before SLC.
Only those who pass SLC Examination are allow to join higher
level education programs.
Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT)
provides vocational training and technical education to SLC and
under.
The pace of CTEVT is slow-it has not catered a small percentage of
the above said population, so far.
CTEVT graduates are not allowed to join other university degree
courses.
There is no provision for the recognition of prior learning, cognition
test, performance test and certification that links with higher level
education system.
