OCCUPATIONS BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION: NEPAL
Young people in Nepal face many challenges in making labour market and societal transitions, both of which are intertwined. Almost 70% of the workforce is engaged in agriculture, mainly family farming. School drop-out to support family livelihood occurs early in schooling. Emigration for work is very important in terms of remittances. A significant percentage of girls marry before the age of 18 years.
As part of preparing young people for life, the Ministry of Education introduced Occupations Business Technology Education as a compulsory school subject from grades 6-8 in primary school, examinable by written test at the end of Grade 8.

The Occupations and Business sections of the syllabus are good examples of what all young people should be taught, regardless of the country in which they live.
