Mahottari, Dec 26: CPN (Maoist Centre) leader and former Minister for Education Giriraj Mani Pokharel has asserted that the constitution amendment bill could not be forwarded due to the objection of the CPN-UML.
During an on-site visit of the Shree Kishori Secondary School at Hariharpur Haridmani of Mahottari on Sunday, leader Pokharel further said that irresponsibility of the major opposition-UML-and the obstinacy of the Madhesh-centric political parties had caused obstruction to furthering constitution amendment bill.
He, while recalling that the UML had appealed to the agitating Madheshi Front for talks for a total of 36 times, clarified that the government on November 29 registered the bill in an attempt to address the demands raised by the agitating Madhes-centric political parties.
On a different note, he shared that the Education Act (the eight amendments), could not be brought into effect for lack of the release of Rs 27 billion fund from the Ministry of Finance to the Ministry of Education.
The enforcement of the Act enables appointment of the around 360,000 capable mathematics and science teachers required for the community schools across the country, he added. RSS
