KATHMANDU, May 2: A parliamentary forum(Caucus) comprising members of the House of Representatives is likely to be formed to make efforts for the effective enforcement of education, health and social rights of the citizens guaranteed by the constitution as fundamental rights.
There are complaints that though the constitution has ensured the right to education as a fundamental right of the citizen, still some three percent children (of school age) are out of schools, quality of community schools is gradually degrading and returns of investment in the education sector are less of the expectation. The necessity of a caucus has been realized in the same backdrop, it is said.
