ABSTRACT
This article analyzes the diploma and pre-diploma curricula developed and implemented by the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training in Nepal and identifies the need for restructuring these curricula to better align with the objectives of technical and vocational education and training and industry requirements. Following an interpretivist approach to the study, we developed this article by analyzing the data collected using qualitative methods, including document analysis, focused group discussions, and interviews with various stakeholders. The analysis shows that the current curricula focus excessively on general subjects without integrating with technical skills. The limited stakeholder participation in the curriculum design process, excessive focus on summative assessment of students, and inadequacy of curriculum for job preparedness raise an issue of the relevancy of curricula. The study identifies the need for restructuring diploma and pre-diploma curricula by reducing the contents of general subjects, enhancing soft skills integration, and incorporating workplace-based learning. It suggests the need of developing competence-based curricula, improving stakeholder involvement, revising the assessment system, developing a national framework for technical and vocational education and training curriculum to improve the overall effectiveness of technical and vocational education and training in Nepal.
