It has been found that the religious schools of Karnali are being run in short supply. In the study conducted by the task force formed by the Ministry of Social Development of the Karnali government, it was found that the physical infrastructure in the religious schools was dilapidated, the teachers could not be managed, and the teachers could not be paid their salaries.
A seven-member task force headed by Deepa Hamal, director of the Directorate of Education, spent about four months studying gurukuls, madrasas and monasteries across the state. According to the task force, such schools do not have toilets, drinking water, playgrounds, educational materials, libraries and laboratories. Those schools are not included in the government's policies and programs and budget.
Some religious schools have been closed due to financial crisis. Religious schools do not have support from all three levels of government. Due to the lack of resources, skilled and subject-oriented teachers have not been managed," Dahal, the coordinator of the task force, said, "We suggest that the government should include religious schools through policy programs and budgets." 90 teachers have been teaching 965 students in these schools operating in Surkhet, Dolpa, Jajarkot, Dailekh, Calikot, Salyan and Jumla. Due to financial shortage, the Gurukul at Lower Dungeshwar in Dailekh has been closed, the working group said.
Educationist Deepak Gautam, a member of the working group, said that the physical condition of the religious school was pathetic. According to him, there are no qualified teachers in the school. He said that the government should invest in religious schools. Ahmed Raza, another member of the working group, said that the religious school is dependent on donations and donations due to lack of government support.
Social Development Minister Bhandari said that the task force's report would make it easy to include religious schools in the policy program and budget. "It has been studied how the government can support religious schools run by donors on a regular basis," he said.
