Milestone Agreement

Ending a 28-day-long Kathmandu-centric teacher's agitation, the government and the Nepal Teachers' Federation (NTF) reached a nine-point agreement Wednesday. This has enabled the resumption of regular classes in the community schools from Friday. The government and political parties came together to meet the long-standing demand of teachers that the parliament should approve the School Education Bill without delay. The deal has stipulated that the pending Bill will be endorsed by June 29, 2025. The Bill will be converted into an Act once the House passes it, which will restructure the school education as per the federal set-up.
