Kavre, November 24

Nepal’s Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Giriraj Mani Pokharel, says increasing commercialisation of education must end in order to serve all people of the country.

He says commercialisation is increasing more rapidly than professionalism in the sector, and it is a threat to people’s access to education.

Addressing the 24th convocation ceremony of Kathmandu University in Dhulikhel of Kavre district on Friday, the Minister discussed various problems of the sector.

“It is our reality that all youth do not have an access to high education. The access to technical education is even lower,” he said, “The quality of education is decreasing. The number of educated unemployed is increasing.”

“Likewise, there is a risk that responsible institutions may fail to carry out their duty.”

On the occasion, 1,555 medical science students under various programmes received their graduation certificates.
