Kathmandu University School of Education (KUSOED) provides top-tier teacher  education programs characterized by a comprehensive approach aimed at nurturing  proficient teachers, teacher educators, and educational leaders. These graduates are  equipped to make significant contributions to educational practices that are both  impactful and life-enriching. It has established a belief that there is a pressing need for  a paradigm shift in educational methodologies to cultivate adept and forward-thinking  educational professionals. 

The School of Education recognized the demand for a One Year M.Ed. program in  School Counseling and initiated it in August 2023. As the initiation progressed,  stakeholders, particularly participating students, school leaders, and municipal  educational officers, suggested the need for an extension of the program's duration. This  extension aims to cultivate specialized graduates in school counseling. Following the  suggestions from multistakeholder needs assessment, the proposal addresses the  rationale to add a Two-Year M.Ed. program in School Counseling. The proposal  outlines the eligibility criteria for prospective students, the program's structure, course  details, and assessment methods. Aligned with Kathmandu University's mission, the  program aims to prepare individuals to excel as professional, culturally adept, and  ethical school counselors across diverse settings. Our programs prioritize service learning, social justice, and the application of theory and evidence-based practices in  both academic coursework and practical training.
