Organizations representing private schools, including PABSON, N-PABSON, National PABSON, and HISSAN, have demanded that the provision in the School Education Bill requiring private schools to be gradually transformed into non-profit institutions be removed.
The demand was made public during a joint press conference held on Shrawan 25, 2082.
PABSON General Secretary R.B. Katuwal said, “The provision in the bill to gradually make schools operated with private investment non-profit is against the legal arrangement made by the government in 2058 B.S. to allow operation under the Company Act.”
He further claimed that the provision in the bill requiring the provision of full scholarships, tuition fees, examination fees, textbooks and educational materials, uniforms, transportation, and other services is contrary to the spirit and intent of the Company Act.
They have also informed that if their demands are not addressed by Shrawan 28, they will launch protests starting from Shrawan 29.
