Leader of the CPN (Unified Socialist) Jhalanath Khanal has pointed out the need for change in the education sector.
At an interaction organised by Focus Nepal on the occasion of the 209th Bhanu Jayanti and Guru Purnima festival here Wednesday, he said, "Nepal's education has not been developed as it should have been. It is unfortunate indeed."
The former prime minister complained that people even after having a Master's Degree in three subjects have not got employment. So, education must be moral, technical and scientific, according to him.
Similarly, the Minister of State at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, Umesh Shrestha, laid emphasis on timely reform in education. "The state should give prioritize education and health sectors for country's development", he viewed and stressed the need for technical education.
Likewise, Chairperson of Higher Secondary Schools' Association Nepal (HISSAN) Ramesh Kumar Silwal shared quality education should be imparted for the country's development, adding unemployment problem has surfaced in a lack of quality education at the rural level.
Saying competitive and quality education are the need of the hour, Focus Nepal Chairperson Ram Chandra Pokharel mentioned that a change in education policy could create an atmosphere for employment-focused education.
On this occasion, different educational institutions and individuals were honoured for their contribution to the development of the education sector of Nepal.
