The Nepal Teachers’ Federation has announced the first phase of the protest program, objecting to the School Education Bill endorsed by the Education Committee of the House of the House of Representatives.

The federation announced the protest program by organizing a press conference in Kathmandu on Friday, saying that the government has not fully implemented the agreement reached with them.

Federation Chairman Laxmi Kishor Subedi said that though  many of the issues mentioned in the Bill are positive, the main concerns of teachers and employees and many issues included in previous agreements have not been addressed yet.

Under the first phase of the protest program, attention letters will be submitted to the Prime Minister, the Minister for Education, and the chief whips of political parties on August 25.

Similarly, a two-hour sit-in will be held by submitting attention letters to all the party offices at the centre from August 27 to September 5.

Likewise, attention letters will be submitted to all the municipalities on August 29 and to the coordination units of all the districts on August 31.

Chairman Subedi said that the second phase of protest will be announced on September 6.
