The 25th district assembly of the Nepal Teachers' Association, Baglung, has concluded that it will draw the attention of the new government to bring an education act. They also said that teachers should be given the same respect as civil servants.
Against the government's accusation that it has been politicized, President Umakanta Poudel said that if teachers can work as a respected profession, they can also contribute to quality education. He said that teachers have had to protest repeatedly because they did not receive respect from the state. They also demanded that teachers be made into one of 17 categories.
The district assembly concluded on Friday after the local level representative meeting that has been held since the first week of Falgun. The assembly passed issues such as establishing the rights and interests of teachers, bringing an education act, and paying attention to the government in removing the discrepancies in Nepal's education.
Saying that the Teachers' Federation's agitation held last year has not yet reached a conclusion, the teachers are demanding that the new government also pay attention to that. ‘Our movement has been postponed, not ended,’ said Poudel, ‘A law should be brought and the demands should be properly addressed.’ He said that the 2028 BS Act has failed to respect and address the changed situation.
The district assembly honored two dozen teachers who retired this year. It also welcomed new members and honored the Nepal Teachers’ Association, Baglung Municipal Committee, and others who have done excellent work throughout the year. The association has been holding regular district assemblies for the last 25 years. More than 1,500 teachers working in the district are affiliated with the association.
