Technical Schools in Nepal
Technical and vocational education has become an essential component of Nepal’s development strategy, with a strong focus from all levels of government. Technical Schools are pivotal in producing a skilled workforce that meets the growing needs of various sectors. The Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) and the Centre for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD) have played a crucial role in expanding technical education throughout Nepal.
CTEVT supports both pre-diploma (18-month) and diploma (three-year) programs through a wide network of affiliated schools and institutes. As of now, there are 413 pre-diploma and 492 diploma institutes, totaling 905 institutions spread throughout Nepal. These programs are designed to equip students with hands-on skills and prepare them for employment or further education.
