Course Description:

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has been recognized as a powerful tool for national development and for providing individuals with decent jobs leading to a quality life. The sector is integral for developing a workforce necessary to improve production and service sectors in any country. Recognizing these potentials, countries worldwide have been investing in the growth of the TVET sector. International efforts are also being made to strengthen TVET.

In countries like Nepal, the TVET sector has not yet thrived or made the anticipated contributions. This remains a distant reality for many developing countries. Various factors contribute to this low performance, including low economic activity, a lack of jobs, low-quality education within the TVET sector, and insufficient leadership and management capabilities. Therefore, it is essential to intervene in the sector to ensure it contributes to national development as expected. One crucial area of intervention is developing the human resource capacity of the sector, focusing on both educational and socioeconomic aspects. The Master in Technical and Vocational Education (MTVET) program at Kathmandu University's School of Education is an effort in this direction and was introduced in August 2018.
