The candidates of Rupandehi-3 have expressed their commitment to take the initiative to formulate an educational policy that allows easy access to institutional schools run by the private sector for the general public and students from the disadvantaged groups.
Independent candidates from Rupandehi-3 and candidates from various political parties participating in the 'Candidate Program with PABSON-2082' organized by the Private and Residential Schools Organization Nepal (PABSON) Siddharthanagar in Bhairahawa on Saturday said that they will also collaborate with private sector educational institutions while formulating an education policy.
Nepali Communist Party candidate Faiz Ahmed Khan said that although the contribution of private schools to Nepal's education sector is important, an educational policy that allows easy access to private schools for the general public is necessary.
‘To provide access to private schools to general students, an educational policy should be made in which the government should provide a certain percentage subsidy per student and private schools should also provide a certain percentage discount,’ Khan said. ‘Parents complain that education in private schools is expensive. We need to move forward through mutual coordination to resolve this.’
Nepali Congress candidate Sushil Gurung said that it is necessary to move forward in coordination with all stakeholders, including investors in the private education sector, when revising and amending the future education policy.
The accusations that private schools are not paying taxes, not providing free scholarships as per the rules, and that ordinary students cannot study due to high fees should be refuted,' said Gurung, 'Private schools should not be forced to be registered with a trust and operated.'
CPN-UML candidate Basudev Ghimire said that although it is necessary to continue monitoring and monitoring the registration and cancellation process of private schools by the government itself, education policy should not be formulated with the mentality that all private schools are looting money by looking at a few private schools.
PABSON Siddharthnagar had brought all the candidates together on one platform to publicize the views of independent and political party candidates on private schools, future educational policy, declaring the education sector a peace zone, and plans to advance government-private collaboration in education.
Rastriya Janamorcha candidate Badre Alam Musalwan said that an education policy that makes education and health service-oriented is necessary, not as a business.
Mojib Ali of the Rastriya Janmukti Party also said that private sector education should be made service-oriented and not profit-oriented.
Independent candidate Jit Bahadur Gupta said that the Education Act of 2028 is outdated and that private schools have been used as vote banks by political parties in the past.
