Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has stressed the need to distribute equal opportunity of quality education encompassing the backward classes, regions, genders, and nationalities in the mainstream of education.

  He has said it is inevitable to ensure equal opportunity and benefit by removing the inequalities existing in education at all levels and opportunities at the province and local levels.

 In a message of best wishes on the occasion of National Education Day today, the Prime Minister asserted that the government is committed to increasing the share of national budget in the education sector to achieve the sustainable development goal and also to have the School Education Bill, 2081 discussed and passed from parliament.

 The National Education Day commemorates the day the Compulsory and Free Education Act, 2075 was issued to implement the fundamental right to education guaranteed by the Constitution of Nepal. The government began celebrating National Education Day on Ashoj 2 starting last year, based on the date of the certification of the "Compulsory and Free Education Act, 2075," which was enacted to implement the fundamental rights outlined in the constitution.

 This year the day is being observed with the slogan, "Knowledge, Science, Skills, Entrepreneurship, and Originality: Partnership and Systemic Competence." The PM expressed his happiness that National Education Day is being celebrated across the country by organizing various programs.

 The Head of the Government said there is a situation in which all the three tiers of the government needed to enhance partnership in investment based on mutual coordination, collaboration and co-existence for achieving the goals of compulsory and free basic education and free secondary education.

 "It is necessary to utilize the existing investment and resources in an effective and productive manner and to produce citizens and build society with moral character, and to promote employment, through quality education," PM Oli said.

 As the Prime Minister said, the teaching-learning from school education, the general/technical education to higher education needs to be made inclusive and of quality in order to achieve the global sustainable development goals by 2030.

 He also insisted on developing all the education institutions into the centre of excellence in knowledge and making education as the means for achieving the national aspiration of 'Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali.'
