Teachers took out a 'whistle rally' along the Babarmahal-Baneshwor area, Kathmandu on Sunday, demanding students and teachers-friendly School Education Act.
It has been the fifth day that the teachers, who have arrived here from different parts of the country, gathered along the Babarmahal-Baneshwor area for the demonstration.
The Confederation of Nepal Teachers (CNT) Chair Laxmi Kishore Subedi said the agitation will continue until their voices are heard.
Issuing a statement today, the Confederation has urged teachers not to engage in copy-checking, results publishing, in any educational tours, training or seminar during the period of protest.
It may be noted that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Saturday upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) from an official visit to Thailand said that the teachers' peaceful protest showed their 'trust' in the government.
Talking to the media at the TIA VVIP lounge, the Prime Minister said, "The teachers' demands will be addressed. We will sit for talks with them. They are neither the protesters of the government nor we are their opposition," he said, referring to the agitating protesters.
He was of the view of addressing the issues through dialogue.
