Chandragiri municipality operates multi-technical school

Kathmandu, Jan 15: Chandragiri municipality has brought into operation multi-technical school in a public school.    

The municipality has started teaching skills to the students of Balambu Secondary School in Chandragiri-12 through a technical school with the concept of 'earning by reading' and making the students self-employed after secondary education (ten plus two).     

In collaboration with Dream Sharing Foundation of South Korea, the municipality has constructed four state-of-the-art laboratories including the school building on the school premises.    
As informed, Rs 25 million has been spent for the construction of the two-storied building and laboratory.    

Students will be taught skills in beautician, electrician, motorcycle repair and mobile maintenance categories based on the curriculum of the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT).    

Students of grade 9 to 12 in the general category will learn skills in one of the disciplines of their choice in the public school having100 percent students passing the Secondary Education Examination (SEE).    

The skills they learn in extra time will be equivalent to graduation. After passing grade 12, the students will also come out with a certificate of technical skills in the discipline of their choice. The municipality believes that it will help the students to become self-reliant and employable in the school.    

Chief Administrative Officer of the municipality, Hemraj Aryal said, "We are putting efforts to make the youth self-employed in the country through life-saving education, quality teaching and technical skills. We are attempting to reduce the outbound of students for employment".    

The municipality has paid attention to the necessary aspects to further improve the quality of education in the community schools, he said, adding that this was what their educational policies were focused on.    

Chief of the Education, Youth and Sports Section of the municipality Sujan Raj Khanal expressed the belief that having theoretical and practical knowledge of technical education along with school education would help the students become self-employed.    

Chair of Dream Sharing Foundation Korea, Si Win, said that the foundation would continue its support in this field considering the need for technical education in the public schools of Nepal in the coming days.  (RSS)
