Nepal Teachers’ Federation Chairman Laxmi Kishor Subedi said that they would continue their protests until the endorsement of the School Education Bill.

He said so while addressing the teachers’ protest organized in Baneshwor this afternoon.

Subedi directed the teachers not to participate in the Grade 12 exams.

“The National Examination Board has said that it will conduct the exams by deploying civil servants and security personnel. None of us will participate in the exams,” he said.

Earlier, this morning, the NEB had decided to hold the Grade 12 exams as scheduled.

Amid growing uncertainty over whether the Grade 12 exams will be held on time owing to the teachers' protest, a meeting of the National Examination Board held this morning had decided to hold the Grade 12 exams on time.   

On Monday, Education Minister Bidhya Bhattarai resigned from her post amid demonstrations of the teachers demanding immediate enactment of the School Education Bill.

The exams of 550, 000 students will be uncertain if the exams are affected by the protests of teachers.

The protests have even delayed the results of Secondary Education Examination (SEE) and affected the new admission process.
