Community-school teachers required to enroll their kids where they work

KATHMANDU: A nine-point ‘Pangretar Declaration’ issued in Sindhupalchowk has forwarded a plan requiring the community schools’ teachers to compulsorily enroll their children in the community schools.

The plan has been put in place in view of reducing the dilemma prevailing the sector in the country as well as to help improve education quality in public schools.

The nine-point declaration was recently signed by authorities of the District Education Committee, chiefs of local units and governmental and non-governmental agencies working in the education sector in Sindhupalchowk district.

The participants attending an event at Sunkoshi Rural Municipality in Pangretar where the declaration was issued also vowed to implement the declaration for the education development.

With the school level education coming under the jurisdiction of the local governments following the implementation of federalism, the concerned authority in Sindhupalchowk district organized an event to ensure uniformity to the Education Act issued by the local units in the district and integrate the education policies and programs for the district, according to District Education Committee Chairperson, Krishna Gopal Tamang.
