Various student unions on Tuesday jointly organised gherao of the District Education Office nationwide.

The united nine student unions picketed in front of the DEO offices all over the country from 10 am to 12 PM demanding the fee hike decision be withdrawn, to fix scientific fees and make regular monitoring at private schools.

All Nepal National Free Students Union Secretary RC Lamichhane said that they had to resort to protest as the government turned deaf ears even after drawing its attention to the matter.

Likewise, the student unions are all set to padlock the accounts and administration offices of the private educational institutions on Wednesday and they have also announced to padlock the central officers of PABSON and N-PABSON on Thursday.

The student union leaders alleged that the Education Ministry had committed to have the hiked fees retracted within three days but it was yet to be implemented therefore they were compelled to protest for the implementation of the previous decision in this regard.
