This review study intends to provide a solution to the question of when Nepal's community college will have sufficient endowment to meet the needs of students and other stakeholders with a direct or indirect connection to the institution. It also explores if community campus leadershi p and supervision practices are sufficient to produce competent students who may be employable in Nepal and beyond. This article seeks to identify certain leadershi p and management approaches, as well as the growth of community colleges. Additionally, this material is based on years of experience obtained while working as a community college instructor.
