Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that the investment made in private schools cannot be converted into profit. He also urged private school administrators not to take excessive profits from investment in education.

Inaugurating the 16th session of Pabson, the umbrella organization of private schools, in Kathmandu on Monday, he said that investment in education should be considered as a social service. "In the future, there was talk of guthi in school education, to be converted into guthi within 5 years. You are the one who spends money, you are the one who invests, you are the one who collects the right to property,'' he said, 'the government is not in a position to provide education to everyone. Invest in education. No one can take away that property. Property is protected according to rules and laws.'

Prime Minister Oli also cautioned not to aim to make excessive profits from investment in education. This is not an industry. Not an IT company. It is not possible to make a lot of profit by investing a little. Earning money is not the main purpose. Don't be a jogi either. Not even thinking about doing it for profit is social service,' he said. 

He pointed out that when buying land for school and building a building, since they invested by taking a loan from the bank, that property cannot be consolidated. I wonder where this guti came from. The quarrels came to the future. There was talk of not being able to make a profit. It cannot continue. Go forward with confidence," he added, "invest in education. No one can take away your property. There is a school opened by a person. You are your gut. Do not fall into the illusion of guthisuthi. Government investment alone is not enough. Private sector investment is also needed to produce capable citizens. He pointed out that the role of private schools is also necessary as the government's investment is insufficient.

'Private sector is investing. Saying that we can't invest. Who has no investment. Will he invest?', he questioned and added, 'Don't let someone who has a tractor and has the skills to plow the tractor  .

The ruling and opposition MPs have filed an amendment to make private schools non-profit within 5 to 20 years in the school education bill pending in parliament. Prime Minister Oli also commented that such things have come about because the education sector has come under a kind of attack. Such a time has come. I should not say. The consultancy is holding the affected people. Someone raised a sadhu, a saint. Made the media hype. He went to bed hungry. Others took advantage by putting the old man to sleep. If he died, the old saint would be gone. The benefit would have been taken by someone else," said Prime Minister Oli, referring to Dr. Gobind KC. After KC's hunger strike and agitation, the Medical Education Act mentions provisions to make private medical colleges non-profit after 10 years.

The Prime Minister reiterated the government's commitment to cooperate with the private sector in education and health as in other sectors. "We want to work with the private sector everywhere in a public-private partnership," he added, "we request the private sector to invest in education." The state will help those who cannot. He said that the state will not invest in education and health for citizens who can afford it. It is to support the backward class and community. "We will give food to those who cannot eat," said Prime Minister Oli, "a Kshetri is hungry. It does not mean that another tribe has eaten tons. He pointed out that the state should have the capacity to provide free education and health according to the constitution. How much is the country's income? How much revenue is raised? We should look at the status of savings and savings," said Prime Minister Oli. "Our journey and system is towards socialism. He wants to be rich. Socialism oriented means. You can't say that your son lost his car before he became rich. When you get rich, you will buy a car.' 

He hinted that once the country's economy is strong, education and health can be made free. It is easy to say. Education should be free. What the government can do is to provide children with snacks, textbooks and sanitary pads at least in such a country. Improvements have been made. The government has done as much as it can," he said.
