KATHMANDU: The government has started revising Nepal’s school-level curriculum from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to Grade 12 to align education with changing social, political and technological needs.

The Ministry of Education formed a nine-member task force led by Prof. Dr. Bal Chandra Luintel of Kathmandu University School of Education. The committee plans to submit its report within six months.

The revision process will involve consultations with students, teachers, businesses and youth groups, while also incorporating recent developments in science and technology.

If completed on schedule, the revised curriculum could be implemented from the next academic session.
