Education Minister Raghuji Pant interfered with the jurisdiction of the Parliamentary Committee and proposed amendments to the School Education Bill. In the document submitted by the Ministry of Education to the Education, Health and Information Technology Committee, it is mentioned that district education office should be kept and teacher posts should be managed at the local level instead of being transferred.

 The Minister of Education has intervened by saying his opinion even on the matter that the sub-committee under the committee has agreed upon. 

Minister Pant's desire to keep the district education office, not to transfer teachers to the local level, etc., seems to be unfavorable to federalism. In Schedule-8 of the Constitution, it is mentioned that the sole right up to secondary education shall be at the local level. According to the same arrangement, the sub-committee chaired by UML MP Chabilal Vishwakarma agreed to abolish the district education office and transfer the teacher posts to the local level. The report with consent has been submitted to the committee. But since education is in the list of common rights of all three levels, Minister Pant argues that the education office should be maintained to maintain functional uniformity between the union, state and local levels.

The sub-committee has reached agreement on the bill on other issues except whether to take private schools to Guthi or allow them to operate in the same company model. When the committee sought the opinion of the ministry on matters yet to be agreed upon, Education Minister Pant intervened on matters that had already been agreed upon and put forward a proposal. Committee chairman Ammar Bahadur Thapa, Congress chief whip Shyam Kumar Ghimire, UML chief whip Mahesh Bertaula have committed to submit the bill to the parliament by June 15. The parliamentarians say that the bill submitted by Education Minister Pant has become more complicated. Chairman of the committee Thapa says that there is no justification for the opinion of the ministry and the minister on the issues that have already been agreed upon. "Trying to reverse the agreed matter is not acceptable, we are preparing to submit the bill to the House of Representatives within June 15," he said. 

He said that even if there is no consensus, the bill will be submitted along with the report. It is Pant's proposal that private schools should be established and operated under educational groups and companies. The government has banned the establishment of private schools in companies since 2072. The parliamentarians have registered an amendment that the private schools run by the company should be run on a non-profit Guthi model in a certain year. The matter has not been resolved by the sub-committee. 

The Minister of Education has put forward a view on the matter of Early Child Development Class (ECD) as opposed to the opinion of the MPs. Parliamentarians Vidya Bhattarai, Devendra Paudel, and Sumana Shrestha, who are also former Education Ministers, are unanimous that the ECD should be kept within the school structure and should be made for two years. In the sub-committee, it was agreed to keep ECD in child development and make it two years in both private and public schools. Pant has refused to keep ECD in the school structure saying that the basic level should be maintained from Class 1 to 8. The matter, which was agreed upon when Bhattarai was Education Minister, was reversed after Pant was appointed.

The Ministry of Education has proposed that the Education Department along with the District Education Office and the SEE examination should be maintained. It was agreed in the sub-committee to place the education and human development resource center instead of the department. The Minister of Education has proposed to restore the Department of Education along with the Education Office.

"The final examination of secondary education class 10 will be conducted at the state level by the SEE, coordination of the National Examination Board and the relevant district education office should be arranged," the proposal of the education minister said. The sub-committee has submitted a report that there will be no Education Office, SEE Examination and Education Department. The sub-committee arranged to transfer the movable and immovable assets of the Education Development and Coordination Unit (District Education Office) to the Ministry of Education of the provincial government. The Ministry of Education has stated that this arrangement is not necessary as it has an office. The

sub-committee arranged that the teaching posts in the public schools should be transferred to the local level by the Ministry of Education on the basis of the number of students, teacher-student ratio, subject and classroom needs, and geographical conditions. The Ministry of Education has put forward the idea that the word "management" should be kept instead of the word "handover". 

The Minister of Education has also proposed to remove the provision that the local level appoints teachers who have been transferred to the local level. Teachers Federation, the umbrella organization of teachers, has been refusing to stay under the local level. The Minister of Education had asked for time to discuss the bill in the committee, saying that it should be discussed with the protesting teachers' federation last April/May. Although the teachers protested by demanding service facilities, they were making the demand of 'not living invisibly under the local level' their main agenda. After the discussion, he proposed that there should be arrangements for assigning teachers affiliated to the teachers' federation. The sub-committee agreed to bar teachers of the federation from getting jobs or service facilities. According to the officials of the Ministry of Education, the Minister of Education has proposed to advance the bill according to the demand of the teachers. 

The Ministry of Education also has a different opinion on the proposal of the parliamentarians to establish an educational quality testing authority, to be able to hire volunteer teachers at the local level, and to have a school management association. The MP proposed an autonomous authority to test educational quality. Education Minister Pant said that the authority will demand a large structure and resources. He argues that it is not reasonable as the local level can decide on volunteer teachers. Pant said that the School Management Association should be removed as there is no justification or need.

Regarding the schools running on the recommendation of the diplomatic mission, the Minister of Education has put forward a tough proposal. His proposal is that schools run by the diplomatic mission and run on the recommendation of the diplomatic mission will not be allowed to admit Nepali students from the first academic session after the law is promulgated. According to the Ministry of Education, arrangements should be made to complete the studies of the students. The MPs were silent on the matter.
