Technical and Vocational Education has become a subject of discussion among the stakeholders in Nepal. Though TVET had been introduced for a considerable length of time. it has not been instituted and developed to meet the needs of the evolving context. The mandate of handling the TVET sector up to the secondary level has been entrusted to the local government institutions according to the federal constitution of Nepal but central authorities seem not prepared to loosen their grip on it. This has given rise to several confusions and ambiguities in both the policy and operational realm. Roughly 384 community based technical schools are running in the country to date. At the same time, TECS has attempted to promote and establish a technical wing in the community schools from the center. This has presented problems as it goes against the provision envisaged in the federal constitution of Nepal.

This is an overview of Technical, Vocational Education and Training. Nepal has a federal structure of governance but they are not fully exercised their duties provided by the constitution, still, there is a grip from the central level. The study will empower the local and provincial governments to establish technical institutes as per the requirement of the local community. The study is carried out with the published journal, history of TVET in Nepal, Constitution of Nepal, and other relevant articles published nationally and Internationally. Still, the central level of control discovered in distributing Technical Schools to the local government, and CTEVT also providing affiliation to the community schools, they do not have any correlation with one another. It has recommended to the local governments to establish full-fledged technical institutes which are in their jurisdictions and the local level need of the required human resources will be produced.
