Kathmandu: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has pointed out the need to make timely reforms in the educational curriculum to stop the brain drain.

‘It is necessary to make drastic changes in curriculum to stop intellectual brain drain by boosting the sentiment among youth students of doing something for the nation staying here,’ he explained.

PM Dahal stressed, ‘Curriculum should be prepared to keep technology-based innovation and research on top priority. There is a need for professional education linked with prosperity.’ Stating that the country could not achieve prosperity without the participation of youths, he emphasized youth-targeted entrepreneurship and innovation as well as increasing production and creating employment through human resources development.

The country is looking at youths’ passion, skill, knowledge, and capacity and seeking their contribution, the Prime Minister said, ‘The country can take benefit from 40 percent youths of the total population of the country and we should utilize this historic opportunity.’

Likewise, PM Dahal further said it was necessary to change the existing educational system and the situation of educational unemployment created by the existing educational system and directed the schools and universities to impart technical and skill-oriented education as educational institutions have been traditionally imparting knowledge.

PM Dahal added that the government has shown special attention to increasing people’s access to quality health services and education. ‘The Purbanchal University should bring a medical college into operation by constructing necessary structures at its premises and quality health services should be provided to the people of this area,’ he mentioned.

Similarly, PM Dahal explained, ‘The Purbanchal University got the permission to run the medical college at my initiative. I will take the initiative to provide affordable and quality health services to the people of this area in the coming days.’
