A proposal has been made in the bill that when establishing a school in Nepal or changing the name of an existing school, the name should reflect Nepaliness. There is also a provision to change the name of the schools that are operating with a name that reflects foreignness.
The education, health and technology committee of the House of Representatives formed to discuss the school education bill, and the sub-committee chaired by UML MP Chabilal Bishwakarma has proposed that the new name of the school should reflect Nepaliness.
In the report prepared by the sub-committee on the school education bill, it is written, 'When naming or changing the name of the school, it should be kept in such a way as to reflect the name of the natural, cultural place, person or monument of Nepal.'
It is also mentioned in the report prepared on the bill that the name of which schools cannot be changed. "The names of schools named after historical persons, monuments and national natural heritage will not be changed," it is arranged in section 12 of the bill.
It is also proposed to change the name of schools operating in a way that reflects foreign persons, organizations, places or foreignness within three years from the date of operation of this Act . "If any school in operation at the time of commencement of this Act is named in a way that reflects foreignness, institution, place or foreignness, the name of the school shall be changed to reflect Nepaliness within three years from the date of commencement of this Act," it is proposed in the bill.
If this arrangement is passed by the Parliament as it is, the Nepaliness should be reflected in the new name and when changing the name. Similarly, it has been arranged that the name reflecting Nepaliness cannot be changed.
