The Nepal government has closed all private schools and everyone will have to study in government schools.”
Reported by Sanchita chatterjee: The Nepal government has closed all private schools and everyone will have to study in government schools.It sounds very nice to hear. It seems as if the education system has become completely equal. But the reality is a little different.
In reality, the Nepal government has not yet taken any decision to close all private schools. No such government announcement or law has been issued. Therefore, many media outlets have reported this news as a rumor or misinformation.
However, one thing is true—there is a big discussion going on about education in Nepal. Many educationists believe that the common people are facing problems due to the excessive fees of private schools, the pressure to buy books and notebooks, and various expenses. Therefore, the government wants to make the education system more regulated and accessible to everyone.
Nepalese law already has a rule—private schools must provide scholarships to a certain number of poor or talented students. There is a provision to provide at least 10% of the seats in small schools and up to 15% of the seats in large schools for free.
so that children from poor families also get a good education.
In fact, education is such an area where inequality creates inequality in society. That is why many countries are trying—to establish education not just as a business, but as a social right.That discussion is also going on in Nepal how to make education more fair, affordable, and equal opportunities for everyone.So, the news that “all private schools have been closed”—is not true.But the thought and debate that is going on to bring equality in education is the real important thing.If there is a deep discussion about education in our country too—then maybe one day a society will really be created,where children of all rich and poor will get equal opportunities.
