Address School Teachers' Genuine Demands

All educational activities in community schools have come to a halt nationwide as schoolteachers have kept staging their Kathmandu-centric protests for more than two weeks, putting up various demands. They have wanted the government to enact the School Education Bill as early as possible. The Nepal Teachers’ Federation (NTF), an umbrella federation of schoolteachers, announced a general strike in school education on April 1 when the winter session of the federal parliament was prorogued, leaving several important bills, including the School Education Bill, unendorsed.
