1. Introduction
The world has witnessed a radical change in the field of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) in recent and this process is still going on. The relevance of computer education
has been increasing day by day. Realizing the same the curriculum of computer science for
Grades 11 has been developed according to the National Curriculum Framework, 2076. The
study of this course will help the students to enter the job market. This will also provide basis
for the students to pursue their further study in the field.
This curriculum comprises of an introduction to basic computer system, the basic number system
and Boolean logic, computer software and operating system, application package, multimedia and
network. It also includes contents of web technology, programming, information security and
cyber law, digital society and computer ethics and recent trends in ICT. The course itself is of
practical nature and the pedagogical approaches in delivering the course should consider the
balance between theory and practice. The same applies in case of student evaluation procedure too.
The curriculum has been divided to different sections: level-wise competences, grade-wise
learning outcomes, scope and sequence of contents with their elaboration, some indication to
learning facilitation process and student assessment.
