The Congress party has blocked a bill regarding the appointment of teachers, under pressure from the National Teachers’ Association. The bill was aimed at addressing the issue of teacher vacancies in the country. The decision to halt the bill has raised concerns about the future of education in Nepal, as the shortage of teachers has been a longstanding problem affecting the quality of education.

The National Teachers’ Association has been advocating for better working conditions and increased recruitment of teachers to address the shortage in schools across Nepal. The blocked bill was seen as a step towards fulfilling these demands and improving the education system in the country.

Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed disappointment over the Congress party’s decision to halt the bill. He emphasized the importance of addressing the teacher shortage and implementing reforms to enhance the quality of education in Nepal. Khatri highlighted the need for political parties to prioritize education and work towards resolving the challenges faced by the education sector.
