Kathmandu, October 8
The National Campaign for Education, a network of civil society organisations working for right to education and child rights, has suggested the government not add any more new schools in the country.
Handing over its recommendation to the High-level National Education Commission, 2075 on Monday, the network has suggested that existing schools be managed to implement the constitutional provision of free and mandatory education. It has also suggested the government adopt a policy to gradually discourage private investment in school education.
Network Chair Kumar Bhattarai handed over the recommendations to the Commission cChair and Minister for Education, Science and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokharel.
The commission, constituted two months ago with a four-month term, has collected recommendations and suggestion by setting up task groups under various themes.
