All Nepal National Independent Students Union (Revolutionary) Draws Attention to Technical Students' Plight

Kathmandu. All Nepal National Independent Students Union (Revolutionary) has drawn the government's attention to the plight of Class 12 technical stream students due to the directive to publish results quickly.  

Issuing a statement, organization chairman Mahesh Shrestha stated that the future of about 10,000 technical stream students is in uncertainty due to lack of coordination and urged for the students' demands to be addressed. The statement reads, 'Students studying Crop Science, Animal Science, Computer Science, and Civil Engineering in Class 12 will still take a few more months to complete their OJT, so they are in a situation where they cannot receive their transcripts and provisional certificates on time.

Meanwhile, Tribhuvan University's Institute of Engineering is preparing to conduct the entrance examination on Shrawan 11 and start classes from Ashoj 1, and a situation has arisen where these technical students will be deprived of the opportunity for undergraduate study. We demand the assurance of their right to study.'

The statement also strongly protested some education-related policies adopted by the government. The organization has condemned the decision to collect a 3 percent tax in the name of 'education equality fee' from private school students in the fiscal year 2083/084, which is contrary to the right to education guaranteed by Article 31 of the Constitution of Nepal 2072, and the collection of hefty fees in the name of 'guardian support' even in community schools.
