Kathmandu, April 29: The student organizations have postponed all their agitation programmes after the talks among the stakeholders Friday.
Secretariat member of All Nepal National Independent Students Union (ANNISU) DB Saud said that the protest programmes were called off following a four-point deal between Minister for Education Dhaniram Poudel and agitating four student unions.
According to Saud, the Ministry of Education would revoke the exorbitant fees imposed against the Education Regulations and Directives within 15 days, strongly implement the Education Regulations, 2059 and Private Schools’ Fee Determination Standards Guidelines, 2072 and scrap the registration of schools that failed to implement the Fee Determination Standards Guidelines.
Likewise, a talks committee led by Ministry’s Joint Secretary comprising representatives from the students unions would be formed to offer suggestions to the Ministry.
Saud said that the padlock at schools protesting the fee hike would be unlocked on Saturday.
Ministry’s Spokesperson Dr Hari Prasad Lamsal, Director General of Department of Education Baburam Poudel, Chairman of Nepal Students Union Nainsingh Mahar, ANNFSU Chair Nabina Lama, ANNISU (Revolutionary) Ranjit Tamang and others were present on the occasion. RSS
