If you are an Education student aiming to teach in Nepal, the B.Ed. at Okhaldhunga Campus under Tribhuvan University sets a clear four-year path.
Students study two school subjects for secondary-level teaching: one as major and one as minor. The program follows TU’s annual system and totals 22 courses grouped into communication skills, professional cores, specialization major, specialization minor, and teaching practice.
Four academic years; annual examinations
Two language courses (General Nepali, General English)
Professional cores in philosophy, psychology, curriculum, and an education/ICT elective
Major (10 courses) + Minor (5 courses) from TU-approved areas
Teaching internship/practicum in the final year (100 marks)
Here’s what you’ll study over four years.
Year 1: General Nepali, General English, Philosophical & Sociological Foundations; entry-level papers in chosen major/minor.
Year 2: Educational Psychology; intermediate papers in major/minor (e.g., Geometry/Calculus, Public Health, Regional Geography).
Year 3: Curriculum and Evaluation; teaching methods for the major; Nepal-focused subject content; research basics.
Year 4: Teaching Practice; elective (Instructional Technology/ICT); advanced content papers in the major/minor.
Students prepare to teach two subjects at secondary level, apply classroom pedagogy, use assessment tools, and handle school-based tasks with confidence.
Graduates serve community schools, private schools, and education projects in districts across Nepal. The major–minor model supports staffing needs where teachers cover more than one subject.
