Abstract

Higher education is perceived as a capital outlay and a potential transformer of the socio-economic and cultural development of a nation. Nepal has a very brief history of modern educational systems which traces back to 1959 when Tribhuvan University was established as the first university in the country. Though the formal education in agriculture began in 1968 with the upgrade of the School of Agriculture into the College of Agriculture launching a two-year Intermediate of Science in Agriculture program, the institutes offering the undergraduate-level Bachelor of Science in Agriculture are recorded to stretch out only after the 1990s. The trend of establishment of undergraduate agricultural colleges has faced many ups and downs but the highest number of agricultural colleges were found to be established in the year 2018 i.e., 10. In the current situation, seven universities and their thirty-three constituent and affiliated colleges are offering bachelor’s degree in agriculture. Regardless of the ample expansion of agricultural institutes throughout the country, agricultural education is still an underrated subject in comparison to other fields. There is limited information available about the current status of the agricultural education system in Nepal; in fact, the secondary-level graduates lack proper information and guidance related to higher education in agriculture. This paper explores the history of agricultural education in Nepal; trend of agricultural institutional development; quota distribution, eligibility criteria and admission procedures for undergraduate studies in different universities; and has been prepared with a motive to shed light on agricultural academics, and guide students who are seeking a bright future in the agriculture sector.
尼泊尔大学农业教育:全面回顾
高等教育被认为是一项资本支出,是一个国家社会经济和文化发展的潜在转变者。尼泊尔现代教育系统的历史非常短暂,可以追溯到1959年特里布万大学成立时,这是该国第一所大学。虽然正式的农业教育始于1968年,当时农业学院升级为农业学院,推出了为期两年的农业科学中级课程,但提供本科水平的农业科学学士学位的研究所直到20世纪90年代才开始出现。农业本科院校的设立趋势经历了多次起伏,但2018年成立的农业本科院校数量最多,为10所。在目前的情况下,有7所大学及其33所组成和附属学院提供农业学士学位。尽管农业院校在全国范围内大量扩张,但与其他领域相比,农业教育仍然是一个被低估的学科。关于尼泊尔农业教育系统现状的信息有限;事实上,中学毕业生缺乏与高等农业教育相关的适当信息和指导。本文探讨了尼泊尔农业教育的历史;农业制度发展趋势;各大学本科生名额分配、资格标准及录取程序;并准备了一个动机,以阐明农业学术界,并指导学生谁正在寻求一个光明的未来在农业部门。
