In the Education, Health and Information Technology Committee of the House of Representatives, the proposal of the education bill to gradually make private schools service-oriented, public-welfare and non-profit has been unanimously passed. The resolution was passed at a meeting held at the office of the committee at Singhdarbar on Thursday.

There was a difference of opinion among the parliamentarians regarding the private school operation which could not be decided by the sub-committee on the bill. The parliamentarians presented different arguments on whether to allow the private schools to operate in the current company model or to take them to non-profit (guthi).

In the committee meeting on Thursday, there was a discussion about the arrangements related to the operation of private schools. In the discussion, the MPs of the ruling Congress and UML expressed mixed views, while the MPs of the opposition party, Maoists, and the RSVP insisted that the private schools should be taken to Guthi by specifying a certain year.

A proposal to keep different periods in public and private schools in the operation of Early Childhood Development Classes (ECD) has been put forward. The committee could not reach a consensus on this matter. It is said that this controversial matter will be concluded in today's meeting. A provision that public schools can operate for two years and private schools for any number of years has been proposed in the School Education Bill. The parliamentarians have argued that there will be discrimination against children when there are different periods.
