What does it do?
- The Act establishes the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) as an autonomous corporate body to organise basic, middle and higher-level technical education and vocational training, coordinate training providers, and set and certify skill standards. A Technical Education and Vocational Training Assembly chaired by the education minister — with planning, public service and ministry officials, the FNCCI president, university technical deans, experts and industry representatives — sets policy, approves the budget and evaluates progress.आधारभूत, मध्यम र उच्चस्तरीय प्राविधिक शिक्षा र व्यावसायिक तालिम व्यवस्थित गर्न, तालिम दिने निकायबीच समन्वय गर्न र सीपको स्तर निर्धारण तथा प्रमाणीकरण गर्न यस ऐनले स्वशासित संगठित संस्थाका रूपमा प्राविधिक शिक्षा तथा व्यावसायिक तालिम परिषद् (सीटीईभीटी) स्थापना गरेको छ। शिक्षामन्त्रीको अध्यक्षतामा योजना आयोग, लोक सेवा आयोग र मन्त्रालयका प्रतिनिधि, उद्योग वाणिज्य महासंघका अध्यक्ष, विश्वविद्यालयका प्राविधिक डीन, विज्ञ र उद्योगका प्रतिनिधि रहेको सभाले नीति तय गर्छ, बजेट स्वीकृत गर्छ र प्रगति मूल्याङ्कन गर्छ। Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), consolidated official text Preamble; Sections 2क, 3–5क, pp. 1–6
- The Council, chaired by the education minister with a government-nominated vice-chair, approves and supports private and non-government technical schools and training programmes, runs polytechnics and training centres, develops curricula, organises apprenticeships and instructor training, classifies, tests and certifies skills, and evaluates other bodies' training at national level. It may raise funds from national and international sources and sign agreements with prior government approval.शिक्षामन्त्रीको अध्यक्षता र सरकारले मनोनीत गरेका उपाध्यक्ष रहने परिषद्ले निजी र गैरसरकारी प्राविधिक शिक्षालय तथा तालिम कार्यक्रमलाई स्वीकृति र सहयोग दिन्छ, बहुप्राविधिक शिक्षालय र तालिम केन्द्र चलाउँछ, पाठ्यक्रम बनाउँछ, प्रशिक्षार्थी (एप्रेन्टिसशिप) र प्रशिक्षक तालिमको व्यवस्था गर्छ, सीपको वर्गीकरण, परीक्षण र प्रमाणीकरण गर्छ र अन्य निकायका तालिमको राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा मूल्याङ्कन गर्छ। सरकारको पूर्वस्वीकृतिमा यसले स्वदेशी र विदेशी स्रोत जुटाउन र सम्झौता गर्न सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), consolidated official text Sections 3.2, 6, 8, pp. 4–8
- The Council's accounts are audited by the Auditor General; it reports its budget, progress and audit to the Assembly, and the government may give it directions.परिषद्को लेखापरीक्षण महालेखापरीक्षकबाट हुन्छ; यसले बजेट, प्रगति र लेखापरीक्षण प्रतिवेदन सभामा पेश गर्छ, र सरकारले परिषद्लाई निर्देशन दिन सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), consolidated official text Section 6.21, p. 8; Sections 11, 13, p. 9
Gaps, loopholes and improvement ideas
- Capacity The Auditor General's 63rd report found that enrolment in CTEVT programmes is falling — 29,571 students against capacity of 75,724 in FY 2081/82 (39.05 percent) — that three schools (including Madan Ashrit Technical School) had not submitted FY 2081/82 accounts for audit despite Section 11, and that Rs 68.18 crore received directly from a foreign agency was not audited.महालेखापरीक्षकको ६३औँ प्रतिवेदनअनुसार परिषद्का कार्यक्रममा भर्ना घट्दै गएको छ — आर्थिक वर्ष २०८१/८२ मा ७५,७२४ क्षमतामध्ये २९,५७१ (३९.०५ प्रतिशत) मात्र भर्ना; दफा ११ ले महालेखापरीक्षकबाट लेखापरीक्षण गराउनुपर्ने भने पनि मदन आश्रित प्राविधिक शिक्षालयसहित तीन शिक्षालयले २०८१/८२ को लेखा पेश गरेनन्; र एक वैदेशिक निकायबाट सोझै भुक्तानी भएको रु. ६८ करोड १८ लाखको लेखापरीक्षण गराइएको छैन। Office of the Auditor General, Nepal · Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), consolidated official text OAG 63rd report, Ministry of Education chapter (CTEVT), paras 110.1, 114–115, PDF pp. 493–495 (printed pp. 461–463); Act Section 11, p. 9
Ideas to fix it
- The Auditor General recommends reviewing the Council's mandate in line with the constitutional lists of powers and their detailed allocation, and having the Council approve minimum standards for opening technical schools and regulate schools against them, since provinces and local governments also run similar schools.संविधानको अधिकार सूची र त्यसको कार्य विस्तृतीकरणअनुकूल हुने गरी परिषद्को कार्यक्षेत्र पुनरावलोकन गर्नुपर्ने, र प्रदेश तथा स्थानीय तहले पनि यस्तै शिक्षालय चलाइरहेकाले परिषद्ले शिक्षालय स्थापनाको न्यूनतम मापदण्ड स्वीकृत गरी त्यसअनुसार नियमन गर्नुपर्ने महालेखापरीक्षकको सुझाव छ। Proposed by: Office of the Auditor General (63rd Annual Report) Office of the Auditor General, Nepal
Where does it conflict with other laws?
- नेपालको संविधान
The Auditor General notes that technical education and vocational training is not on the federal government's list of powers in the Constitution, yet the Council remains under the federal government, while provinces and local governments also establish and run similar schools.महालेखापरीक्षकका अनुसार प्राविधिक शिक्षा तथा व्यावसायिक तालिम संविधानको सङ्घीय अधिकार सूचीमा नपरे पनि परिषद् सङ्घीय सरकारमातहत रहेको छ, र प्रदेश तथा स्थानीय तहले पनि यस्तै शिक्षालय स्थापना गरी चलाइरहेका छन्। Office of the Auditor General, Nepal OAG 63rd report, CTEVT para 113, PDF p. 494 (printed p. 462)
