Technical Education and Vocational Training 

Greater access to relevant technical educational degrees and vocational training education is critical for the numerous  youths who leave school with neither an SLC nor marketable skills to obtain jobs available locally and abroad, and subsequently cannot engage in self-employment activities.  The Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), established in 1989 under the Technical and Vocational Education Act of 1988, is responsible for managing a limited number of public technical education schools across the country. There are also private technical education schools, operating in affiliation with the The Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), but their very high fees limit their access to the relatively wealthier segment of the population.  The The Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) recognizes the urgent need to develop The University Grants Commission (UGC), a statutory body established by an act of parliament [Act No 25 (1993)], co-ordinates universities, education loan, student loans, education degrees, online degrees, online masters degree, online colleges, online university allocates and disburses government grants to universities, online universities and higher educational degree serving institutions and takes appropriate steps for the promotion and maintenance of standards of higher educational degrees in Nepal. Cost-effective skill development schemes for the wider population, particularly students from deprived groups and poor backgrounds, and unemployed youths who have little access to the existing technical educational degrees or vocational training education opportunities by offering some education loan, student loan.   

Budget Trends of Nepal

An analysis of the overall education budgets, education loan, student loans, education degrees, online degrees, online masters degree, online colleges, online university  over the past fifteen years shows that allocations to the education sector, particularly to primary educational degrees, have increased significantly in terms of the percentage of GDP as well as total government budget.  The education budget was only 1.4 percent of GDP and 9.6 percent of the total budget in FY1989/90, but it increased to 2.5 percent and 13.0 percent in FY1994/95, 2.5 percent and 14.0 percent in FY1999/00, 3.1 percent and 16.4 percent in FY2001/02, and 3.9 percent and 16.7 percent in FY2005/06, respectively. 

The percentage of government expenditure allocated to educational degrees, online degrees, online masters degree, online colleges, online university  in Nepal is relatively high in comparison with other developing countries: it is higher than India (by 3 percent) and Indonesia (6 percent), Sri Lanka (10 percent), Bangladesh (11 percent), or the average for all developing countries (11 percent); however, it is lower than the Philippines (by 19 percent), Thailand (22 percent), and Malaysia (23 percent).During this same fifteen-year period, the Government demonstrated its commitment to providing primary educational degrees for all by making budget allocations to primary education loan, parimary student loan a growing priority.  However, while it is critical to continue increasing the budget for primary education loan, primary student loan to both reach marginalized children and to improve the quality of public school educational degrees, education loan, student loans, education degrees, online degrees, online masters degree, online colleges, online university.  the Government is aware it must balance the distribution of limited resources, particularly between the primary and secondary education loan, and various student loan in sub-sectors, as more and more children complete the primary educational degrees cycle and wish to move on to secondary school educational degrees.UNICEF, 2003, The state of the world’s children 2004, UNICEF, New York.  It should be noted, however, that these figures are not necessarily comparable to each other—as they tend to include only the central government budget; state/provincial budgets are not included in some countries’ figures, for instance, India.  The data refer to the most recent year available between 1992 and 2001 for each country.
