On the right track

Eliminating partisan politics from educational spaces could greatly improve the quality of education.

The Ministry of Education has started work on cracking down on university and school-level teachers and staff actively involved in political activities. Sumana Shrestha, the Minister of Education, sounds committed to eliminating party-based partisan politics from educational spaces. This is a step in the right direction, and Shrestha deserves full support from political parties and educational institutions. As we struggle to improve the quality of education in our schools and universities, a long-due initiative against partisan politics in such institutions comes as a big relief.
