In addition to educational fees, why can't the government monitor, regulate and control private schools that impose a financial burden on students by charging exorbitant amounts and commissions on books, coffee, bags, clothes, shoes and socks by strictly implementing educational policy rules?

Mahavir Pun, who got the opportunity to become the Minister of Education while working at the National Innovation Center after obtaining a master's degree in science from America, has a good idea that for economic development and national prosperity, it is necessary to increase investment in technical and vocational education first. In a country with economic and social poverty like ours, it is natural to draw attention to the expansion of technical education and easy access to the masses.
Realizing the fact that technical education plays an important role in the all-round development of the country, he has expressed the provision of compulsory computer education in all government secondary schools. He is aware of the fact that in developed countries like America, about 80 percent of students who complete secondary education acquire technical education. In Nepal, this number is not even around 20 percent.
Since the past, Nepali students wanted to get technical education and easily move towards income generation, but the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology did not show any serious interest and thought. With the main mantra of 'Skills in hands, jobs with you', the Minister of Education should go ahead with the action plan to gradually implement technical education from the school level and widen it to the university level. Let the attention of the Minister of Education be focused on the strategy of providing technical education that suits the soil and society of the country.
When the political instability and transition are making the country's education sector inactive, the education minister of the popularly supported government should also put forward a strategy to free the education sector from political interference and confusion. Keeping the national interest and economic prosperity at the center and coordinating the current education with technology to produce skilled manpower for the country/abroad should not be delayed anymore.
State's poor investment, lack of clear policy and implementation and extreme politicization and partisanship are degrading the academic quality of our universities. As a result, most of the students go abroad for higher education after passing 12th standard. The academic quality of the university has deteriorated due to the trend of every professor of the university becoming a party worker and filling various positions of the university without qualification, efficiency and experience. The educational environment is damadol because of the party division in the university.
At present, universities are empty due to the lack of students due to the fact that exams are not held on time in universities, the results are not published on time even if the exams are held, and studies are not conducted properly throughout the academic session. At the beginning of the academic session, many students who are enrolled in the university with great zeal and vigor to achieve higher education, due to the problem of not having regular studies, there is an increasing tendency to leave their studies in the middle and wander in the villages/towns or abroad.
While there is growing interest and thinking about the way the School Education Bill 2080 will take Nepal's education, some time ago, teachers' federations and private school administrators put their hands on the implementation of the Education Bill. Their attention remained focused on personal interests rather than national education reform.
The teacher selection process, considered the backbone of the school, is plagued by politicization and partisanship. For educational transformation, effective implementation of educational policy rules and plans as well as appointment of qualified and skilled teachers are equally necessary. Taking school education as a human right, the state must now be able to make private schools non-profitable.
There is a need for strict regulation and monitoring by the government to eliminate the growing academic chaos and arbitrariness in any government, private or foreign investment school. With the school education bill giving the responsibility of maintaining the educational quality at the school level to the headmaster, the tendency of the headmaster to appoint the best ones as teachers in relief quotas including temporary ones in his own opinion, will not the educational quality of the school level deteriorate further? The present Minister of Education needs serious attention.
It seems that the past governments have assumed that schools will be merged if the number of students is even lower. Covering this opportunity, those who have opened private schools in the middle of the capital and the city market are collecting lakhs of money monthly in the name of educational fees. Is it monitoring, inspection and control?
In addition to educational fees, why can't the government monitor, regulate and control private schools that impose financial burdens on students by charging exorbitant amounts and commissions on books, clothes, bags, clothes, shoes and socks by strictly implementing educational policy rules? Why not improve the educational quality of government schools to attract common parents? The problem of managing qualified and skilled teachers in government schools has been widespread since the past.
Even private schools, even after starting teaching with the new academic session, are not able to manage qualified and skilled teachers, but they are advertising the demand for teachers. This is ironic. When will it end? Even in private schools, there is a frequent change of teachers and the inability to appoint qualified and skilled teachers for a long time has seriously affected the teaching and learning. Let the current Minister of Education take serious notice against the tendency to look at the academic quality only in the answer book of the annual examination of the students while turning a blind eye to these innumerable problems of our school education and the chaotic educational environment.
