PABSON, N-PABSAN demand correction on School Education Bill

Kathmandu, Aug 21: School operators have demanded correction on some provisions of the School Education Act.
At a demonstration organised by Private and Boarding Schools’ Organisation Nepal (PABSON) and National Private and Boarding Schools’ Association Nepal (N-PABSAN) at Maitighar Mandala on Thursday, the participants had carried ply cards reading ‘ Private school education the first choice of parents’, ‘contribution of private school, building strong economy’, ‘Why private school should always have to face discrimination’ among others.

‘Removing ‘Full scholarship’ word from the bill, removing the provision of making schools being operated after their registration as per company act as ‘non-profitable’ are the demands of PABSON and N-PABSAN.
The private school operators demand that the concerned school should have authority for scholarship distribution and an arrangement should be made to provide scholarship by forming a transparent committee.
The Education, Science and Technology Committee under the House of Representatives has passed the School Education Bill on Thursday.
