Our Collective Failure
- by Sambridhi Gyawali
I attribute this to two major issues: the style of spending and the accountability of government school teachers and staff members. Government spending in any sector typically follows an 80/20 split, with the majority being allocated for recurring expenses like salaries, allowances etc and the rest for development activities. Consequently, teachers and other staff in government schools are paid much higher than their counterparts in many private schools despite consistently poor performance in SEE. Moreover, many of the teachers and staff are representatives of the country's major political parties. While there is nothing wrong with having a political ideology, using it for personal gain at the expense of young minds is nothing less than a crime. This issue transcends beyond the education sector, as politically influenced reporting and consistent poor performance are difficult to break due to labor laws that protect these politically aligned underperformers.
