Prime minister commits to better university education

Amid increasing criticism that over-politicisation has ruined the country's higher education, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has claimed that the law is being formulated to appoint independent personalities as university chancellors. At present, the prime minister is the chancellor of most Nepali universities, while professors govern the institutions as the vice-chancellors.
