The national network of 437 member organizations working for strengthening of the public education system in the country has presented an 18-point educational recommendation for the political parties to consider in their manifestos.
Among the recommendations include at least 20 percent of the total budget allocation in the upcoming fiscal year.
The National Campaign for Education (NCE) Nepal President Dilliram Subedi shared that the recommendation draws the attention of the local government for formulation and implementation of laws enabling allocation of budget for the public education from the revenue collected through local resources.
Additional budget is demanded to enforce programmes to make up for the loss of learning activities during the COVID-19 crisis among others.
Each local level government should have their own acts, regulation, plan and programmes devised for promotion of education, the NCE Nepal demanded.
In the recommendation letter, emphasis has been laid to make the teaching profession dignified and professional and to make clear arrangements that political parties will not allow teachers to join their politics.
