The Minister of Education, Science and Technology Raghuji Pant has requested that the provision of housing and clothing on full scholarship by private schools should not be kept in the original law.
Minister Pant said this while presenting the government's views on the School Education Bill at the Monday meeting of the Education, Health and Information Technology Committee under the House of Representatives.
Minister Pant says that it is appropriate to put the subject of full scholarship in the regulations and not in the original law. In the report prepared by the sub-committee led by UML MP Chabilal Vishwakarma on the bill, full scholarship is said to mean tuition fees, examination fees, textbooks and educational materials, clothing, transportation, residential facilities (if available in the school) including the fees charged and provided by the school.
Minister Pant is of the opinion that although it is the government's responsibility to protect and regulate community, Guthi and private schools, laws should not be made to strangle private schools. He said that the government is committed to regulate private schools.
'What I still insist on is that it is better to arrange housing facilities on full scholarship in the regulations than in the law. I would like to insist that if it is kept in the regulations, it will be better to manage it tomorrow. If kept in law, its implementation should be progressive. Our constitution has adopted a three-pillar economic policy. Our law envisages private and community schools, which are being operated through Guthi,' Minister Pant said, 'Government should do its role regarding the three types of schools . The government is committed to scholarship. Although the government is committed to regulate private schools, it should not be done to strangle private schools . Therefore, it should be requested to include housing facility in the regulations for full scholarship.
In the meeting of the committee held on 22nd of July, a proposal was made to remove housing and clothing from the full scholarship. But the resolution could not be passed as the parliamentarians did not accept it . The private school administrators are conducting a phased movement on this issue .
