Member of the Province Assembly of Bagmati Province, Surendraraj Gosain, stating that the government has been indifferent towards private education and teachers, mentioned that it is not favorable for the government to rely solely on the face of the government. He highlighted that it is relevant to respect the contribution of the teachers, and pointed out that the country’s educational level has not improved when the government has taken wrong steps towards education.
During the program, the central chairman of ISAN, Premjan Thapa Shrestha, mentioned that all parties related to education reform should contribute, not just one party, and emphasized that respect was given to that party to motivate it. Thapa emphasized on raising the level of education nationwide and urged the state not to discriminate.
Advisor Sarojraj Gosain encouraged teachers to engage in various training, discussions, book studies, and research. Central Treasurer Ukesh Kawan mentioned that the state of education in the district was in disarray, not only due to the teachers but also because of the wrong policies of the Ministry of Education.
