Regulation of private education essential: Minister Poudel
Another striking point in the amendment proposal is removal of provision that the private schools should provide the designated salary and benefits to teachers at par with the government's level for establishment of school. However, the government-stated salary and benefits can be considered a base for determining the salary of teachers in the private schools, the proposal stated.
Among other points are granting approval to the institutional schools for running similar educational programme, classification of schools and the task of determination of perks and benefits of teacher and employees to be included in the to-do-list of of the fee monitoring committee.
