Role of Technical and Vocational Education in Economic Development of Nepal

Nepal has been lagging in economic development and TEVT has been in shadow from the inception of the technical and vocational education. Education system was studied under the different historical period and the period was divided as prior to 1768, unification period of Nepal.1768-1846, this period regarded as Shah Period. 1846 to 1950 was known as 104 years of Rana regime. ‘Nepal may be treated as briefly as that of snakes in Ireland. There was known’ (Wright 1958). An armed struggle overthrown the Rana regime in 1950. NNEPC Established in 1954 and survey the main areas to intervene in the education sector. 1961-1990 king Mahindra coup democratic government and NESP was introduced. In 1989,CTEVT established to produce mid-level human resource required for the development and deviated from its’ objectives in later stage. CTEVT have 19 constituent institutes and with affiliation body. 2006-2016, the period of secularism, federalism, and republic establishment. Total employment record 479846 up to 2015 and found 3 percent growth per year. Three methods applied to collect data; questionnaire with subjective, objective for 385 respondents and interview for 100. 79.25 percent male and 20.75 female found in 11 different backgrounds. The quantity data analyzed by using SPSS statistical tool, percent, mean, standard deviation, t’ test, Pearson’s correlation used to measure the degree of relation. The Major findings of the research were; the TEVT has to be independent, linked with the production, industries and farms should also be learning center, on the job training should be mandatory every year, production unit establishment and providing on training industrial experience to the student; both should be research and production oriented; Investment from the government need to be increased, well equipped polytechnics should be made; social awareness and research oriented TEVT need to be made in order to contribute in economic development , the ruler constantly were not been keen to develop TTEVT properly. On the basis of the findings recommendations are drawn, the recommendation is to make proper policy and proper implementation and PTGC establishment for monitoring and evaluation as well as quality control in delivery, comparing the programs and make competitive TEVT program to compete in global market.

Snakes in Ireland: Questioning the Assumption of 'Collective Responsibility' to Protect Refugees

The recognition of the international scope and nature of the problem of refugees, which induced the establishment of UNHCR and the adoption of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, did not result in shared responsibility for the protection of refugees but rather in a strict apportioning of responsibilities between UNHCR on the one hand, and states on the other. Rather than sharing the apportioned part as a collective responsibility, states become individually responsible for refugees who seek refuge in their respective territories, and hence only for part of the problem of refugees. This individual responsibility is triggered by observing the prohibition of refoulement. Since this prohibition is not coupled to a distributive mechanism, its observance may cause huge disparities in terms of numbers of refugees, and hence in the extent of responsibility individual states incur. Remedying these indiscriminate effects would require taking collective responsibility for the problem of refugees, more in particular, a system that would secure joint and several responsibility whereby individual states have the right of recourse to other states to recover ‘overpayment’, in short: a non-discretionary burden sharing mechanism that involves all states.

The American Foreign Policy Legacy

JAMES BRYCE, a future British ambassador to the United States, wrote at the end of the nineteenth century that the role of foreign policy in American life could be described the way travelers describe snakes in Ireland: there are none. At the time, however, most Americans would have taken issue with Lord Bryce's claim that the United States had no foreign policy worth noting. Americans of the day widely believed that their gov ernment maintained an active, indeed global, foreign policy. And with good reason. The Spanish-American War had just ended, and U.S. forces were still waging a bitter war against guerrillas in the Philippines. Debates raged about whether the United States should annex Cuba, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico, and if so, on what terms. It was a time, in fact, when many Americans were struck by a sense that the United States was coming of age in the international arena. That Lord Bryce, a British diplomat, would have discounted and minimized the importance of U.S. foreign policy despite such events is perhaps not surprising. But the fact that so many important American writers and thinkers today would join him in a wholesale

Snakes in Ireland: A Conversation with Willard Hurst

We were having lunch early in May, when I first broached the idea of a recorded conversation about his life as a legal historian. Willard looked doubtful. And I, no journalist, not even a twentieth-century historian, mired in print, afraid of tape, thought that he would quickly refuse. Then I could tell Michael Grossberg that I had tried but failed, and get on with other things. I said, a bit desperately, maybe we could focus on the world of legal history that he had entered when he began work in the 1930s. Willard looked at me: That would be a bit like studying snakes in Ireland, wouldn't it? Then he continued: But still, there might be something interesting in our talking about a world so different from the one legal historians today inhabit. I relaxed. I had a title. And the rest, so to speak, would be history.

Conservation in Bombay

You know about the celebrated encyclopaedia entry ‘Snakes in Ireland: There are no snakes in Ireland’. Well, see above: there is no conservation in Bombay.

The effectiveness of teacher education

James Boswell remembers Samuel Johnson saying that he could recite word-for-word an entire chapter of the book, The Natural History of The chapter was entitled Concerning Snakes. Given encouragement, Johnson recited, There are no snakes to be found in the whole of Ireland. Until recently one could explore almost all research literature on teacher education, and like discovering snakes in Ireland, not find much. The teacher education literature has possessed an almost paradoxical quality; while extensive, it has consisted mainly of a melange of discordant bits of wisdom, maxims, and exhortations about teacher education, most of the win one for the Gipper variety. For example, while the number of published teacher training models in any given year has totalled somewhere between the number of declared 1976 Democratic candidates and the number of yards 0. J. Simpson gained in a typical game, most of these bold new ventures have been informed more from common sense and goodwill than from any systematic research base. This is unfortunate because the direction of recent research in teacher education encourages us and positive results are beginning to emerge. Although research documenting the impact of programs of teacher education is still far from definitive, recent reviews do show that the decade since 1965 has proved fruitful for the field.1 Perhaps more accurately we should

Deterioration of Library Collections Today

In discussing the deterioration of library collections today, it would be possible to deal with the topic very briefly-not quite as briefly as with the subject of snakes in Ireland, but in a single sentence. This would read, Everything in library collections is deteriorating today, was deteriorating yesterday, and will continue to deteriorate tomorrow although we ought to retard the process. Enough is known to justify this statement; it is when details are examined and countermeasures are considered that complications arise and the limitations of our knowledge become evident. It is hardly easier to generalize about the deterioration of books than about the aging of human beings. Beginning as identical twins, two copies of the same book may deteriorate at very different rates as the result of use and of storage conditions, which vary, even within the stacks of a single library, from one shelf to another. Life expectancies of different kinds of paper range from a very few years to centuries, and paper, of course, is not the only substance with which we are concerned. The conference will also deal with bindings and with photographic films; perhaps the conference program should also have provided for consideration of magnetic tapes and other things on which increasing stores of information will be recorded as the computer extends its empire. There are those who wonder why we worry about the deterioration of something as obsolete as the book. This line of thought, however, would get us into tomorrow before we have dealt with today, much less with yesterday. It seems to me that we must begin with a glance at least toward the past; if some familiarity with history were not essential to an understanding of the present, perhaps we would be foolish to deplore or resist the deterioration of our library collections. Our problem has a long history. It occurs to me that the most serious mistake in that long history may have been made at an early date when knowledge began to be recorded on substances more pliable and more perishable than the baked clay tablet, which will not tear, will not burn, and will not turn into a pulpy mess when it is soaked in water. Have not library collections been highly perishable ever since? Have we not repeatedly sacrificed permanence for convenience and economy? Vellum, to be sure, was more durable in many respects than papyrus, but vellum, after a few centuries, was superseded by a Chinese invention, paper. We were warned as early as the twelfth century, when the emperor of the Occident, Frederick I, Barbarossa, prohibited the use of paper in deeds and charters because he feared it was too perishable [11]. The account of Paper Deterioration-An Old Story by Lee E. Grove [2], which was published five years ago, begins with a fifteenth-century Benedictine abbot, Johann Tritheim, who believed that vellum would last for a millennium but had his doubts about paper. I wish only to give a few names,

The Place of Private Practice in Professional Psychology

In 1929, as president of the Ninth International Congress of Psychology, Cattell looked over the field and announced that: A history of psychology in America in the last fifty years would be as short as a book on snakes in Ireland since the time of St. Patrick. The organization of the American Association for Applied Psychology represented a new landmark for the field of applied psychology. In the postwar period the APA was recognized as a kind of federation of 18 divisions and, with this reorganization, the AAP was swallowed up. In 1947 the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology was incorporated. The Board was authorized to award diplomas to advanced students in three areas: clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and industrial psychology. In the Boulder Conference, clinical psychology is described as being more client oriented than is industrial.

BUSINESS RECORDS AND The ARCHIVIST

I have no doubt we have all heard of the schoolboy who received full marks for an essay that consisted of one single word. The point is, he scored full marks for accuracy as well as for brevity. The subject of the essay was ‘Snakes in Ireland’, and the essay consisted of the one word—‘None’.

Tradition and Invention in Attic Reliefs

NO one today can say why it was that the graves of the Athenians who died fighting the Persian invaders were not surmounted by carved stone stelai such as marked the resting places of their fathers and grandfathers. Near Marathon the mounded earth still stands; and we know that ten marble slabs, one for each Attic tribe, bore the names of the one hundred and ninety-two men of Athens who were slain in the famous encounter; but there seems never to have been any statuary over their gathered bodies. The unusual honor of a common sepulchre on the very field of battle may explain the absence of individual gravestones for the warriors of Marathon; but this could hardly have set a precedent for refusing sculptural monuments to every Athenian slain during the next fifty years. Still less would it account for the complete omission of grave-reliefs during that period in the cemetery of the Kerameikos; yet none have been found, although the district has been widely and deeply explored. To be sure, we hear in Cicero of a sumptuary law passed at Athens after Solon, forbidding such ornamentation of Attic graves; but either Cicero was in error by a century or he was referring to some earlier and transitory edict; for we have Attic grave-reliefs from shortly after Solon and for many decades after that, but none that we can surely identify as native Attic from the fifth century until approximately the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War. We had best admit that we know only the fact of their absence and not the reason for it, and reconcile ourselves to tracing fifth century Attic sculpture without the help of any immediately pre-Periclean grave-reliefs. And it so happens that, except for the tiny temple on the Ilissos, there are no immediately pre-Periclean architectural reliefs, either. The damage and distress of the Persian occupation made it inevitable that prior attention should be given to houses and city-walls, leaving neither money nor energy for greater projects until the high-handed device of transferring to Athens and there absorbing the common treasure of the Delian League released a flood of new money for materials and wages with which to inaugurate the stupendous building program of Parthenon, Propylaea, and Erechtheum. It is an obvious consequence of these two important lacunae that anyone who treats of Attic relief sculpture from the Athens before Pericles will have to treat his theme in broader fashion, lest he find himself in the predicament of the writer on Snakes in Ireland. The choice is to retreat into the archaic period of the late sixth century or to include the Periclean achievement itself in the survey. And since the more extensive view may prove to be the more repaying, we shall do better to set the Periclean reliefs as the

Saints and Serpents

Art both religious and profane has remembered the curse of the serpent: ‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel” (Gen. iii, 15). In pagan art we see the agony of man in Laocoon, in Christian art we see the triumph of the Blessed Mother of God. Amongst many strange cults we see man appeasing the serpent in idolatrous worship, but Christianity has crushed its power for evil. It is in this light, however summarily we may dismiss the legends of hagiography, that we can read their origin, which is in casting out devils and the powers of darkness. Most critics, we presume, would consider the many stories of saints driving away snakes as allegories of their triumph over sin, but there are still no snakes in Ireland whereas Great Britain retains the unpleasant viper. This driving out of serpents occurs in the biographies of more than a score of saints, of whom fourteen are of France, Britain, or Ireland.

The Ethics of Communism

There is a sense, perhaps, in which our present topic is like Mrs. Harris, or snakes in Ireland, or the reigning King of Portugal—that is to say that there is no such thing. For if by communist one means simply a “ red,” it is at least permissible to argue that Moscow and Leningrad are places where there can be no ethics at all. In saying this I do not mean to refer to any particular actions whose object has been to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, or in other words the next immediate step in the policy of these communists. What Zinoviev and others of them say is that they are engaged in a war against all bourgeois administrations, and that, being at war, they are not bound to accept the rules of French duelling,i.e. any outworn conventions, whether these are called ethical or not. Since it is admitted, I suppose, by nearly every

Morison Lectures.—Lecture VI

I now come to the important, and I am sorry to say the controversial, question of the causes of insanity. After what I have already said on the etiology of the clinical forms of insanity and on the fluctuations of statistical insanity in communities, it seems to me that I might conveniently dismiss this subject by adopting the laconic style of the student who was assigned the task of writing an essay on “Snakes in Ireland” by saying in three words, as he did, “There are none.” But as the great majority of people still believe in the validity of the numerous causes which are popularly believed to create insanity somewhat in the same way as violent exercise causes fatigue or eating salt fish causes thirst, it is necessary to refer briefly to the subject.
