After Mahaveer, who gained fame in the field of science, became the Minister of Education again, new hope has been awakened among Nepalis living in the country/abroad. Not only the young students, but also the general public are very hopeful that the education sector, which has been caught in the vicious circle of extreme politicization for a long time, will improve during his tenure. Nowadays, from the city to the village, from the university to the primary school, there is no place that is not touched by political hook.
Firstly, the unskilled people who get appointments in the teaching and academic fields from political parties, the leaders are making the institutions ugly, while the experts are forced to sit on the sidelines and watch.
Land grabbing of Tribhuvan University campus under political guise, union students beating up professors and officials, setting fire to the library, locking up the students for months and playing games with the future of the students, why not the university administrators not conducting the exams on time, taking years to publish the results, millions of students and parents are being harassed by this.
On the other hand, the Sanskrit University campus of Dang established to increase the dimension of Sanskrit language in Nepal, to conduct teaching up to Acharya, Shastri level, to increase the dignity of Eastern philosophy in the country/abroad, has become a place where students and employees of various associations and organizations play wrestling. The prolonged lockdown has broken the records of other educational institutions.
The education ministers of the two and a half dozen governments formed during the 36 years did not pay attention to educational reform, did not understand the reality that prosperity, civilization and culture can be preserved through basic education.
Recently, the education bill prepared to improve the educational situation was not allowed to be passed by the teachers' federation and private school administrators. In particular, lack of uniformity in the curriculum of private schools, changing teachers, prioritizing knowledge over practical and technical knowledge, lack of curriculum to inform children about Nepali society, geography, and history have become the seeds of youth migration.
Children have been separated from language, customs, culture, moral education, the burden of books, class reading, even tuition for 11-12 hours has been done to push infants and children to extreme mental and physical pain. There will be no improvement in education unless these educational malpractices are post-mortemed. The current Minister of Education is capable of removing all distortions, all the distortions and anomalies in the education sector will be removed during his tenure.
