Plus two in Humanities is a foundation level course. It is for those students who want to pursue their undergraduates on mass communication, sociology, English and other related field of interest. Under the National Examination Board (NEB), the Humanities and Social Sciences stream is a two year plus two level foundation course. It comprises an interesting amalgamation of Language studies, Mass communication, Sociology, Psychology, Economics, Marketing/Business Mathematics, Contemporary Society and the likes, its students gain a holistic approach to education.
Humanities and Social Sciences is failing to attract good number of students, every year the enrollment in Grade XI humanities is dwindling. Future job prospects and personal interest of students might have played role for humanities faculty being least preferred stream among SEE graduates.
Prof. Dr Bidyanath Koirala, an education expert once said, "Humanities faculty doesn't know how to sell itself"; The course is old, but students are new-to attract the present day students, the course should be designed to reflect the present times.
