The sub-committee formed under the education, health and information technology committee of the House of Representatives has discussed the School Education Bill 2080 several times. Chairman of the committee Ammar Bahadur Thapa said that the sub-committee has been extended 10 days on Monday for writing the report.

In the committee meeting, sub-committee coordinator Chabilal Bishwakarma said that a common conclusion has been reached from the discussion. Coordinator Vishwakarma proposed to extend the time of 10 days for the preparation of the report as the discussion was over. All matters have been resolved by agreement. The writing of the report can be decided before 10 days, he said. On the proposal of the sub-committee, the committee decided to extend the time. The

committee formed a sub-committee on March 8 last year to finalize the school bill as soon as possible. The sub-committee started its discussion from the 18th. A deadline was set for the sub-committee to submit its report within 35 days from the start of the discussion. Vishwakarma said that the sub-committee held 39 meetings in 30 days and discussed the bill twice. According to the sub-committee, the conclusion has been reached on the basis of consensus on all 163 sections of the bill, which has 15 paragraphs. In August 2080, 161 MPs registered 1,758 amendments to the bill registered in the House of Representatives. In the

bill, whether to take private schools to Guthi or to operate them in the existing company model, the issue of public school teacher management and their professional service facilities, how much to provide permanent relief to teachers from internal competition, how many years to maintain the early childhood development class and the service facilities of the teachers working there are complicated. Many people are also interested in whether or not to conduct the SEE examination, how to select and appoint principals in public schools, whether to maintain/not maintain the education development and coordination unit in the district and the center's education and human resource development center. Although the

sub-committee said that it had reached agreement on these issues from weekly discussions, it has not been made public. The parliamentarians have agreed that the private schools will be taken to Guthi by a fixed year, teachers will be promoted periodically in 12 years, 50% of the relief teachers will be made permanent through internal competition, child development class will be 2 years old and this school will remain within the structure.

Similarly, the parliamentarians of the sub-committee have agreed on issues such as not conducting the SEE exam, making arrangements for the selection and appointment of teachers from the provincial teacher service commission, no education coordination unit, and no human resource development center in its current form. The members of the sub-committee were MPs Dig Bahadur Limbu, Devendra Paudel, Mahendra Rai Yadav, Ram Prakash Chaudhary, Rekha Sharma, Vinita Kumari Singh, Bina Jaiswal, Sarita Bhusal and Sumana Shrestha.
