Looking through 'iron gate'

The anxiety around SEE this year should force a rethink of Nepal’s educational evaluation system.

The Secondary Education Examination (SEE) 2020 batch deserves a big round of applause not just for having crossed the hurdle they have come to know as an 'iron gate' but also for having endured months of uncertainty about their futures. After all, the exams had been postponed just a day before the teenagers were to sit for them, leaving them aghast at the way the government functioned. It takes considerable grit to go back to reading the same old textbooks amid mystery and misinformation in the face of a pandemic.
