(2071/72 B.S.) FOREWORD igher Education Management Information System (H-EMIS) remains an important part for strengthening the capacity of higher education system. University Grants Commission has been pursuing the H-EMIS since 2007. HUGC has prepared and adopted a systematic framework for data collection. Managing data and publishing annual report is a regular activity of UGC. It is the eighth year of publication. Credible system of data/information management is one of the crucial activities for higher education reform and development. Since UGC initiated development and implementation of performance based public funding in higher education, it has become imperative to have the data reliable and verifiable. The government of Nepal has recently endorsed and started to implement the national higher education policy that has emphasized on its need for the development of better higher education management system (HEMIS). In addressing the needs, the Higher Education Reform Project (HERP 2015-2020), a national priority project for supporting implementation of the higher education policy aims to build a comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS extending from UGC to the universities and to their respective campuses that is open and accessible to all stakeholders including educational planers, researchers, critiques, faculties, and students. The approach taken in this line is to develop a comprehensive modular system in coordination of UGC to which the EMIS of all universities and HEIs will be joined together. For this, universities need to follow sets of core national indicators in maintaining student data, teacher data, and information related to academic programs, examination, institutional planning and management etc. In the present context, there are greater challenges for developing such comprehensive EMIS in higher education. The first challenge is to ensure that all universities and their campuses as well as other HEIs develop compatible modules; secondly many of the universities and the campuses still need to ensure retrievable and verifiable information system and regular reporting to UGC. Maintaining, updating the data and making them available to all concerned stakeholders are other challenges. Motivating universities and their respective campuses, and other higher education institutions for setting up and maintaining their respective EMIS and reporting to UGC in order to produce consolidated national higher education information report on time is the main challenge to begin with. UGC along with the other implementing partners and beneficiaries has been implementing Higher Education Reform Project (HERP, 2015-2020) supported by the World Bank with the provision of soft loan and technical support. Under this project UGC has been motivating and supporting universities and their campuses to undertake key reforms envisaged by HE policy including development of their respective EMIS. As usual, this EMIS Report lists the information related to higher education institutions, programs, students, faculty members, and financing. The data are disaggregated by important variables and are analyzed to provide important issues in terms of indicators. Important findings are highlighted and illustrated with tables, charts and graph. The efforts are focused to support the capacity development of higher education system through information based planning, program development, budgeting, decision-making and monitoring. To support the motive of strengthening higher education system as a whole, UGC Nepal has established a mechanism to regularly coordinate with universities and related organizations in collection and analysis of data. Basically it is intended to support effective and efficient use of the collected data for planning and monitoring. UGC welcomes and highly appreciates feedback and suggestions for improvement of the system and the report from the readers.
