Education profile 路 Reference periods shown
Nepal's current UNESCO-UNEVOC profile reports a 1.2% secondary vocational share for 2024 and maps the education system using a 2023 school-year reference. Current CEHRD Flash I 2024/25 annexes provide the national administrative evidence base. Nepal's page combines the current national administrative publication framework with a small set of directly visible UNESCO vocational indicators.

How the education pathway works
The stage map follows the current country-profile structure and keeps technical routes distinct from general secondary education.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Primary education | School stage | Primary education forms the first main school stage. |
| Lower secondary | Secondary | Lower-secondary education follows primary schooling. |
| General and technical routes | Upper secondary | Upper-secondary education includes general and technical options. |
| TVET and higher education | Post-secondary | Technical and higher-education routes continue after school. |
Key evidence
The 1.2% and 2.2% cards are vocational participation shares, not national pupil totals.

| Upper-secondary vocational share | 2.2% | Current profile | ISCED 3 vocational |
| Education-system mapping | ISCED 2011 | 2023 | School-year mapping |

The system-mapping card identifies the 2023 school-year reference, while the CEHRD card points to the newer 2024/25 administrative annex series.
