    Nepali Lifeworld and Its Higher Education System: a Critical Assessment of the Dis/Connection

    CHAPTER 3 Nepali Lifeworld and Its Higher Education System: A Critical Assessment of the Dis/Connection Kapil Dev Regmi Abstract Higher education is understood as a key educational sector for preparing young adults to fulfil the human resource needs of the global capital market. This chapter, using Habermasian theorisation of the lifeworld, challenges this understanding as inade- quate for its ignorance of cultural, social and individual needs and argues for making the higher education sector responsive to the local contexts. Keywords Nepal – lifeworld – Habermas – higher education 1 Introduction A dominant body of literature (OECD, 1996; World Bank, 2002) takes higher education as a vehicle for creating competitive knowledge-based economies (KBE). However, in recent years, scholars (Brown-Luthango, 2013; Hall, 2009, 2019; McMahon, 2009; Murray, 2009; Regmi, 2019c; Strier, 2014) have critiqued the idea of creating competitive KBE and focussed on making higher educa- tion more responsive to the needs of local communities, especially in develop- ing countries such as Nepal. Higher education system in Nepal started with the establishment of Tri- Chandra College, the first higher education institution of Nepal, established in 1918. The curricula used by Tri-Chandra College were borrowed from Patna Uni- versity, an Indian university established by the British colonial rulers (Regmi, 2019c). The first university of Nepal, Tribhuvan University, was established in 1959. As its main objective was to produce graduates capable of getting employ- ment in the job market, almost nothing was done to connect its teaching and research to Nepal’s contemporary community contexts.

Reflection of the initiatives on structure of higher education institutions, standing of the universities, students’ enrollment and production, creation of intellectual property, addition of new businesses, and commercial value addition from high technology exports have been assessed. Critics on the standings and reflections of the reforms have been revealed in consideration of the status of impactful research, knowledge and skills transfer, employment generation, students’ perceptual judgement on their own future in their own country. In anticipation of development and innovation in the higher education system of Nepal, a requisition note for the addition of a few higher education institutions and operationalization of a Scholastic Authority has been furnished. An outline of the Authority establishment and implementation framework is suggested for further discussions.

    Education Management Information System

    EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM REPORT ON HIGHER EDUCATION 2018/19 AD (2075/76 B.S.) NEPAL UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION FOREWORD igher education is the key to the overall development of a country such as Nepal whose population is passing through a demographic transition. Currently, a total of 11 Huniversities, four health academies and 1432 higher education institutions associated (constituent or affiliated) with them are providing mainstream higher education in the country. However, on the one hand, providing access of higher education to the increased number of eligible population still remains a challenge, while on the other hand the quality of higher education and its relevance to market and national priority has been a concern. In the meantime, planners, policy makers and researchers need timely and relevant data in order to meet the challenge faced in their respective sectors. One of the important tasks of University Grants Commission (UGC), Nepal is the development of Higher Education Information System (HEMIS) and publication of its annual EMIS report. This publication is twelfth in its series of HEMIS report published by UGC. The data and information presented in this report provide several information like: number of students studying in each province, faculty, level of education; distribution of campuses of universities in each province; programs of faculties taught in each province; trend of student enrollment in each faculty and many more. All these information are of utmost importance for improving access and enhancing the quality of higher education by supporting stakeholders in making informed decisions and criteria based allocation of resources. A comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS is of utmost importance for the country and UGC is making its effort towards this.

    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-3, Issue-5, May-2017 http://iraj.in EDUCATION IN NEPAL: DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT MS.MANISHA POUDEL Career Wings Pvt. Ltd Abstract: Development of management education is fairly new phenomenon in Nepal. Within a life of about six decades it has witnessed many important developmental phases. As of 2009/10 a total of 568 institutions are providing higher education in management and the number is expected to increase further as Nepal has adopted multi-university policy and invited private sectors and communities to invest in education development.

    Management Education in Nepal: a View from the High Country

    Nepalese Management Education: A View from the High Country Al Rosenbloom, PhD. Dominican University River Forest, IL Bijay K.C. Kathmandu University Kathmandu, Nepal Paper prepared for and presented at the Business Education and Emerging Market Economies: Trends and Prospects Conference, Atlanta, Georgia, USA November 7, 2003 1 Nepal is a small, landlocked country that straddles the Himalaya mountain range in south Asia. To its north, Nepal shares a common border with China and to its south, it shares a common border with India. India and China dwarf Nepal in both scale and scope. As a result, Nepal is often overlooked when talking about Asia, in general, and south Asia, more specifically. Numerous examples exist of Nepal’s “invisibility” in the academic and professional business/management literature. One current illustration will suffice. In the World Economic Forum’s most recent Global Competitiveness Report (Porter, Schwab, Cornelius, 2003), Nepal is omitted in the large appendix of country profiles. It’s as if Nepal does not exist. A review of the global management literature reveals a similar pattern. Few if any books or articles explore the special management issues and challenges relative to Nepal. This paper begins to fill-in that gap. This paper is specifically about management education in Nepal – how it developed and how various Nepali institutions of higher learning have responded to the evolving needs of Nepali businesses for expertly educated managers. The paper weaves together two ideas throughout: that market needs should be the essential driver for management program development and that those management programs which are entrepreneurial and innovative have the best chance of surviving and thriving long term.
