KATHMANDU, Dec 12:  The human and trade union rights situation of education workers in the Asia-Pacific region is found to be disappointing.

KATHMANDU, July 17: Teachers associated with the Institutional School Teachers Union (ISTU) have placed an ultimatum asking all stakeholders concerned to resume the online classes within three days. Opposing the decision of schools to stop online classes asking teachers and staff to go on an unpaid leave, the teachers have issued the ultimatum asking the school operators to withdraw the decision. The teachers are now determined to take harsh and negative actions if their demands aren’t heeded even this time around, said Hom Kumar Thapa, chief of the ISTU.
