Teachers’ demonstration against School Education Bill

Kathmandu: The teachers of the government schools have become agitated regarding the School Education Bill.

Teachers are protesting against the School Education Bill, advanced by the government, claiming that the bill did not address their demands.

Despite the 51-point agreement of the government with the teachers in 2075 (2018), teachers were compelled to lead a demonstration as the government stepped back from its commitment of addressing their demands while bringing the bill.
