School hires unnecessary teachers under political pressureArihantEducation
At a time when hundreds of public schools in Nepal are reeling under the crunch of teaching staff, a government school in Mahottari district boasts of more teachers than it actually requires.
40 schools in Mahottari district, Nepal had their bank accounts barred from further transactions after completing a two-year school reform project funded by Save the Children. The schools claimed they implemented the project's goals of managing classrooms, furniture, libraries, teacher training and more. However, the District Education Officer said there was no substantial difference between the 40 project schools and others, and the accounts would remain barred until documents proving project activities were evaluated.

Education Ministry to speed up textbook monitoring to ensure timely supplyArihantEducation
The Ministry of Education in Nepal is increasing monitoring of textbook distribution to ensure students receive their books on time at the beginning of the new academic year in mid-April. There have been claims that textbooks will be ready but the Ministry remains doubtful. A four-member team has begun visiting textbook publishers to check the printing progress. The government has allocated $1.82 billion for free delivery of textbooks and will take action against those responsible if students do not receive their books on the first day of classes.
The Department of Education in Nepal has begun monitoring school textbooks to ensure they are printed on time and distributed before the new school year begins in mid-April. A four-member team led by an education official has visited the main government printing press and some private publishers. The government press has already printed 6.9 million textbooks for grades 6-10 and is producing 85,000 copies daily. There is still a need for over 2 million textbooks, and some private publishers have yet to begin printing, putting the distribution deadline at risk.

One teacher has been teaching students from grades 1 to 7 at a school in Gobargada VDC for the last eight months. The school used to have three teachers when it was a primary school, but now only has one teacher since the principal retired. Guardians are worried that the school may have to shut down if the only teacher takes leave, as students often return home early due to a lack of regular classes. While a new teacher was recommended, they have yet to start working at the school. The district education officer said teacher appointments were delayed by elections but assured that new teachers would be sent soon.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

DoE directs community schools to reveal assets
1. DoE directs community schools to reveal assets
Department of Education has directed the community schools across the country to reveal their
assets.
The DoE´s instruction comes amid widespread criticism over misuse of school property by the
School Management Committees (SMC) for the personal benefit of committee members.
The DoE Director Tek Narayan Pandey said that the District Education Office (DEO) and the
Regional Educational Directorate has been charged with ensuring that all the schools come up
with credible reports on their property.
“It has been learned that some headmasters, under the influence or pressure from the SMC, have
allowed using the school land for taking out loans and using the amount for personal use,” stated
the DoE Director Pandey. The office has further directed that the schools´ money at private
banks be moved to the government-owned banks and kept under the school´s account.
In its latest move to curb the activities of the SMC, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has also
proposed a significant change in the nomination process of the chairperson of the committee.
The SMC, formed in representation of the local stakeholders including the political leaders of
various parties, guardians and school headmaster, gets its chairperson through the direct election
among the stakeholders.
But the newly proposed amendment in the Education Act 1971 states that only the working
member of the SMC would be eligible to lead the committee. Limiting the candidates for the
chairmanship is intended to create a healthy competition among the stakeholders, the MoE
officials have said. Under the current system, the guardians of a school can directly nominate the
SMC chief.
The report issued by the Office of the Attorney General earlier pointed out several cases of
corruption with the direct involvement of the SMC. Likewise, the Commission for the
Investigation of Abuse of Authority has also directed the MoE and the DoE officials to look into
the ongoing irregularities in the name of infrastructural development at community schools
across the country.
