Now sociology and anthropology students enrolled at bachelor and master´s levels will have the opportunity to learn through practice also, involving field work and technological assistance on the side, informed TU Dean Chintamani Pokharel. [break]
“Today no one can deny the necessity of information technology (IT) and field work when it comes to quality study. This is the main reason we have chipped in with this new approach to studies in sociology and anthropology,” said Pokharel.
“And we believe this method will improve the student´s level of understanding,” added Pokharel.
Besides the changes made in social science studies, a recent three-day meet of TU officials held at Sauraha of Chitwan put forward numerous other proposals aimed at reform in the district education system.
The list of reforms includes raising the motivation of teachers, sparing campuses of political influence, improving research facilities, better management of student facilities, and making studies more effective in every possible way.
The focus has been narrowed down to effective research methodology and ways of improvement, informed Dr Dhanshyam Neupane.
“In order to understand society, research is a must and from now on students will learn the subjects in more pragmatic ways,” said Neupane.
Besides the research part, TU officials have also agreed to check the students´ test papers and display the results on time. “As 30 percent of the students come from across the country, they can´t cope with delay in their results. We will certainly regulate this system from now on,” said Neupane.
He further said that other subjects such as Sanskrit and history, which are becoming obsolete these days, will also be included in curriculums.
