Teachers and principals of private schools have launched a protest in Kathmandu on Thursday after the Education, Health and Technology Committee of the Parliament attempted to endorse the School Education Bill.
They started the protest in Maitighar Mandala, Kathmandu from today arguing that their demands be included in the Bill.
The Committee’s meeting is being held today.
The teachers and principals of the private schools have warned of intensifying the protest by closing the schools from August 25 if their demands are not met.
They announced a phase wise protest saying that the government turned a blind eye to their demands.
The principals staged a protest in Maitighar on Thursday by carrying banners.
The teachers and principals said that they would hold a rally in Kathmandu and picket the Education Committee and Parliament on August 22. They further said that the school buses across the country would pass through various part of the city with black flags the same day.
Issuing a statement, the four umbrella organizations of the private schools—PABSON, NPABSON, HISAN, and APAN—warned of staging the protest if the five points in the report that contradict their demands are not removed.
