11-year-old Junisha Chaudhary of Kailali is now forced to stay at home. Junisha is staying at home while going to school with her friends who study in a private school.

After passing class 3 in Trinagar Secondary School located in Dhangadhi, she has not been able to enroll in class 4. She says, 'My friends went to school yesterday. I also wanted to go to school but our school is closed.

Junisha's mother decided to enroll her in a private school after her daughter refused to go to school. But the private school turned him back saying that he needed a class pass certificate. When he reached Trinagar to get the certificate, the gate of the school was locked.

Even if we transfer to boarding now, the government school has not given the certificate. If they don't give it, the boarding school won't take admission", Chaudhary says, the children of government teachers are studying in boarding schools. What do they care about the children of the poor?

This pain is not only for Junisha, many students have not even been able to enroll in new schools due to not getting such certificates. Community schools are closed after the teachers went on strike demanding various demands including the Education Act. 

Government schools have also stopped the admission campaign after private schools have started. Which directly affects the students.

Talking to Trinagar Secondary School Principal Bhupalsingh Khadka about the issue of student admission, he said that it was agreed that the school will open only if the government fulfills the demands of the teachers. He informed that all activities of the school will be stopped until the demand is met. 

Khadka has now reached Kathmandu to participate in the teachers' movement. 

A teacher expressed grief that children studying in government schools were not even admitted while their children were studying in private schools. It is our obligation too. We did not protest out of desire. We are also sad that the students are not able to study," he said.

Due to the teachers' movement, not only the admission campaign and teaching were affected, the students' exams also became uncertain. The students are under mental stress due to the absence of exams at the scheduled time.

Yashoda Sharma from Dhangadhi is a class 12 student. She was ready to take the board exam. 

Initially, the exam was said to start on the 11th. Yashoda, who had prepared on that date, later got stressed by the news that it was shifted to 21st. Now he doubts whether the exam will be held on that date as well. 

They said earlier that the exam will be held on the 11th, so we prepared accordingly. It was said again on the 21st. I don't know if that is certain or not,' she says, 'now the desire to read has disappeared. Yashoda says that the students' rights were violated when the teachers protested to demand their rights. She says, "It is our right to take the exam on time, but we didn't get it." Pratapsingh Dhami, Senior Branch Officer of Education Development and Coordination Unit Kailali, says that due to the postponement of exams, students have become mentally and emotionally exhausted. He advised the students to be prepared for the exam without being under mental stress.
