KATHMANDU: The government has called on the protesting teachers to join in talks regarding the School Education Bill 2080, which seeks to amend and unify existing laws related to school education.
The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has invited the Nepal Teachers Federation for discussions at the ministry on Wednesday.
In a statement released by ministry spokesperson and joint secretary Shiva Kumar Sapkota, the government has urged the federation to send representatives who reflect all protesting teachers and staff for the dialogue. The exact time of the meeting will be decided through mutual agreement.
