Drastic changes in education system soon
Curriculum Development Center (CDC) is all set
to introduce two streams of education - professional and general - right from
primary to higher secondary level. Chitra Prasad Devkota, deputy director of CDC
said the school level education system in the country is going to change
drastically with decisions such as this, and others that are going to be taken
by the ministry soon. "This framework was developed on the basis of findings
from studies and researches related to the education system in Nepal," said
Devkota, adding, "We've already sent it to the Ministry of Education and it is
going to be passed soon." Once this comes into practice, a student who finds
formal education boring and unsuitable can just quit and join professional
education. "Such a system will not only solve the problem of unemployment but
put the right person in the right field," added Devkota. "We have planned for it
very seriously and we are sure the changes are going to be implemented soon."
After the proposed framework is endorsed by the government, class ten students
won't have to appear in School Leaving Certificate (SLC), but in regional level
exams, instead. Students will have to sit for SLC exams only after completing
class 12. Similarly, children with different mother tongues will be provided
with curricula in their own preferred language. "Curricula in different
languages are being developed so that no group will be deprived of education,"
informed Devkota. To suit the approach, teachers too will be provided with
training to teach in different languages. Likewise, the pass marks will be 40
instead of the current 32 out of 100. The frame has also proposed to adopt
comprehensive assessment system till class seven, which means evaluating and
promoting a child according to his/her overall performance and knowledge instead
of examination only, explained Devkota.
