One-year Bachelor in Special Needs Education (B.Ed. SNE) has been operation since 2003 exclusively at Central Department of Education, University Campus, Kirtipur. A separate Department of Special Needs Education was established at Central Department of Education to run B.Ed. in SNE. Considering the acute crunch of qualified academic professionals to run M.Ed. in SNE and B.Ed. in SNE, who can teach SNE courses at M.Ed. and B.Ed. level in the campuses/colleges of different part of the country, B.Ed.SNE programme was launched with the financial and technical support of Changwon National University under Leading University Project for International Cooperation, South Korea. Students can choose from the two majors offered by the department, English Education and Health Education.
The curriculum seeks to empower the educators needed to cater to the students with special needs in all parts of country.
