Kathmandu- Addressing the 30th convocation ceremony of Kathmandu University, Prime Minister and University Chancellor KP Sharma Oli has said that the government is now focused on job-providing education rather than job-seeking education.

‘There is a concern now whether the youth will get employment or not,’ he said, ‘We have now moved forward with job-providing education, not job-seeking education. We will collaborate and coordinate with the country’s model universities to connect students with employment along with their studies and make them self-reliant.’

Prime Minister Oli said that students need practical education as well as theoretical education. “It is time to put the knowledge acquired in the university into practice,” he said. “After studying so far, we will learn a lot from our own behavior. Students will also be able to learn practical knowledge through internships.”

Similarly, Kathmandu University Vice Chancellor Bhola Thapa informed that the university has launched various innovative programs and has been leading Nepal’s environmental and climate change campaign.

A total of 1,256 students were inducted in the convocation ceremony of Kathmandu University.
