Parents voiced grievances during a discussion hosted by the Education, Health, and Information Technology Committee, expressing concerns that the school education bill overlooks the interests of 7 million parents.
Suprabhat Bhandari, President of the Nepal Parents Association, highlighted the school education bill's failure to address parental concerns and stressed the importance of recognizing parents' roles in the education system, advocating for their inclusion as a national symbol in the legislation. Keshav Puri, President of the Parents' Association of Nepal, underscored their commitment to addressing educational issues affecting common parents but lamented the bill's omission of parental representation.
Concerns were raised about the lack of state interest in public schools, despite significant investments, with President Bhandari emphasizing the need for quality education and a focus on students' well-being over mere certifications.
Kosh Bahadur GC, President of the Nepal National Parents' Association, called for institutional recognition of their demands among parents, while Navraj Kafle, President of the Parents' Association of Students Studying Abroad, highlighted challenges in tracking statistics for students studying abroad.
