Humanities and Social Sciences is failing to attract good number of students, every year the enrollment in Grade XI humanities is dwindling. Future job prospects and personal interest of students might have played role for humanities faculty being least preferred stream among SEE graduates.
Prof. Dr Bidyanath Koirala, an education expert once said, "Humanities faculty doesn't know how to sell itself"; The course is old, but students are new-to attract the present day students, the course should be designed to reflect the present times.
