Nepal 1 EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM / Report on Higher Education 2015/16 A.D. (2072/073 B.S.) Published in 2017 by: University Grants Commission Sanothimi, Bhaktapur, Nepal Post Box : 10796 Telephone : (977-1) 6638548, 6638549, 6638550 Fax : 977-1-6638552 Email : [email protected] Website : www.ugcnepal.edu.np Design : Touch Crea! on Pvt Ltd Bagbazar, Kathmandu, Tel: 01-4215448 Print at : Udaya Media 2 FOREWORD UGC is currently undertaking Higher Educa! on Reform Project (HERP, 2014-2020) which is a na! onal priority project supported by the World Bank for facilita! ng implementa! on of the higher educa! on policy framework of Nepal. The na! onal higher educa! on policy framework emphasizes on systemic development of higher educa! on in the country. For the success of the policy implementa! on, it is impera! ve that the system is capable with reliable EMIS. UGC has been developing Higher Educa! on Management Informa! on System (H-EMIS) as a crucial part of higher educa! on system development. One of the important aspects of the H-EMIS development is the annual report publica! on, this report is the ninth publica! on in this line. The na! onal higher educa! on policy framework lists major thrusts of ensuring access to higher educa! on on the basis of ap! tude and equity, criteria based quality assurance, priority based relevance, research based innova! on and development, and performance based public funding, and shared ownership with public and private stakeholders in development, opera! on and management. The H-EMIS development is based on a framework of systemic and program indicators, tools for data collec! on, and parametric, situa! onal as well as trend analyses. This report covers major parts of the H-EMIS indicators and analyses. UGC is aiming to build a comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS extending from UGC to the universi! es and to their campuses, made open and accessible to concerned stakeholders. UGC is developing H-EMIS to which EMIS modules of all universi! es can be docked in. For this Universi! es need to develop their EMIS compa! ble to UGC E-HEMIS. The main strategy is to develop web-based compa! ble EMIS system. Tribhuvan University has been developing 6 modules that can be docked into the main TU EMIS system. The student registry and examina! on data base module has already been completed and is scheduled for launching from 2017. There are greater management challenges in developing such comprehensive EMIS in higher educa! on. The fi rst challenge is to ensure that all universi! es and their campuses as well as other HEIs maintain verifi able data, and on ! me. The second challenge relates to developing compa! bility of data from diff erent sources and modules. The experiences of H-EMIS development ini! a! ves in Nepal indicates that all the universi! es, campuses and other higher educa! on ins! tu! ons in the country are s! ll struggling to establish and maintain their respec! ve EMIS, upda! ng the data and making them available to all concerned stakeholders. Every year data collec! on faced similar challenges repeatedly – ge$ ng data on ! me and ensuring that the data are verifi able. HERP which considers H-EMIS as one of the main agenda of the project is suppor! ng universi! es and their campuses to undertake key reforms envisaged by HE policy including development of their respec! ve EMIS. This EMIS Report lists the informa! on related to higher educa! on ins! tu! ons, programs, students, faculty members, and fi nancing. The data are disaggregated by important variables and are analyzed to provide important issues in terms of the indicators. Basically it is intended to disseminate updated data /informa! on on higher educa! on. It is expected to benefi t researchers and people concerned with higher educa! on planning, program developing, and monitoring. UGC would like to request the readers to provide feedback and sugges! ons for improvement of the report as well as H-EMIS as a whole.
