TU asked to produce competent graduates

KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 29

Minister of Education, Science and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokhrel urged Tribhuvan University to produce globally competent human resource.

Minister Pokhrel said more effective role of TU was imperative for the country’s socioeconomic transformation. He pointed out the need of developing TU as a strong pillar of nation building by promoting it as a place of research and academic discourse.

“Research should be linked to socioeconomic development.

Once science and technology are given priority, it helps a lot to produce skilled human resource, so that acute problem of unemployment would be addressed,” he said.

The minister, however, admitted that Tribhuvan University was facing quality crisis in terms of imparting education, so it had to be reformed.

“Various data have proved that education quality of TU has eroded. There is no relevance of education sans quality,” he said.

Low quality university education not only produced unskilled graduates but also hampered development activities, he argued, adding that good governance was another need of TU.

He, however, expressed commitment that political activities would be ended at TU as those activities were negatively affecting teaching learning activities and research atmosphere in the university. The Minister suggested new work style to wipe out anomalies at the oldest academic institution of the country. On the occasion, TU Vice-chancellor Prof Dharmakant Banskota said teaching learning and exam system would be improved to ensure education quality of TU.
