Private schools have demanded the government to enforce School as Zones of Peace (SZOP) programme.
Private and Boarding School Organisation of Nepal (Pabson), Nepal Private and Boarding Association of Nepal (N-Pabsan), and Greater National Campaign for Education (GNCE)organised a joint press meet in Kathmandu on Sunday and urged the government to ensure that educational strikes for on different pretexts by different groups do not take place in the future.
Though SZOP was announced nearly a decade earlier, strikes and shutdowns continue to hit schools, Pabson Acting Chair DK Dhungana said. The government should create a favourable environment where children can learn without any fear, as well as ensure their right to education, he added. (PR)
