Teacher CV Format in Nepal
A principal shortlisting for a vacancy reads teaching CVs with one question: can this person teach the subject and level we need, starting this term? Your CV answers it in the first five lines or not at all. This guide shows how — subjects and levels first, then licence, training, and the results that prove you can do it.
Updated 17 July 2026
Quick answer
A teacher CV in Nepal is one to two pages with: your teaching subjects and levels stated in the first lines (e.g. "Secondary-level Mathematics and Science"); your qualification (B.Ed, M.Ed, or a subject degree plus teaching training) and TSC teaching-licence status; experience showing classes taught, results achieved, and co-curricular roles; and any training a school can verify.
Key takeaways
- A principal reads with one question — can this person teach our subject and level, starting this term? — and your first five lines answer it or lose them.
- Title line = subjects + levels + years ("Secondary-Level Mathematics Teacher, classes 8–10 — 5 years"), never "experienced teacher seeking a position".
- State your TSC licence with its level, or "in process" — a blank line reads as a no for many permanent and institutional posts.
- Prove impact with checkable results: exam pass rates you drove, students prepared for competitions, class-teacher and coordinator duties.
- Flexibility fills timetables: one line on other subjects or levels you can cover is a real shortlisting advantage.

The vacancy is for a subject at a level. Match it before anything else — in your title line and summary, not paragraph three:

M.Ed Mathematics · TSC licence (secondary)
If you can also cover other subjects or lower classes, say so in one line — "also teach basic-level Science" — because flexibility fills real timetable gaps and principals know it.
Qualification, licence, and training — the checkable block
- Academic qualification, exactly: B.Ed, M.Ed, or a subject degree with a teaching course — with college and year.
- Teaching licence: if you hold a Teachers Service Commission licence or have passed the licence exam, state it with the level — many permanent and institutional posts ask for it. If it's in process, say that honestly.
- Training with certificates: child-centred teaching, classroom management, curriculum workshops, ECD training — name the provider where it adds weight.
- English-medium capability, if true — for many private schools it is a shortlisting line of its own.
Tip: Government, community, and private schools weigh these differently, and requirements live in each vacancy notice — read it and mirror its exact terms on your CV before sending.
Prove impact: results, not adjectives
"Dedicated to student success" says nothing a principal can check. Results, prepared students, and responsibilities do:
- Exam results you contributed to — pass rates, board or terminal exam improvements, stated honestly and only where you genuinely drove them.
- Students prepared for competitions, olympiads, or scholarship exams — with outcomes if you have them.
- Co-curricular load: class teacher, exam coordinator, club in-charge, sports or event duty. Schools hire teachers who carry more than lessons.
- Parent communication and counselling duties, if they were really yours.

Frequently asked questions
- I'm a fresh B.Ed graduate — what do I put?
- Lead with your qualification and teaching subjects, then your teaching practice or practicum: the school, the classes you handled, and roughly how many periods a week. Tuition and volunteer teaching count — name the subjects and levels. The fresher guide covers the rest of the page.
- Should I mention my teaching licence?
- Yes, always. If you hold a Teachers Service Commission licence or have passed the licence exam, state it clearly with the level — many permanent and institutional posts ask for it. If it's in process, write that instead; a blank reads as a no.
- Do I need different CVs for private and government schools?
- The core page stays the same; the emphasis shifts. Private (especially English-medium) schools weigh English instruction, results, and co-curricular range; government and community posts follow the vacancy notice and its formal requirements exactly. Mirror the notice's terms in each application.
- Should a teacher CV include a photo?
- Only when the school or the notice asks for one. Otherwise use the clean ATS-friendly format — the content rules in this guide matter far more than a photo.
