By the end of 8th grade, most schools stop teaching subjects like music, dance, art, and even sports, the very subjects that stimulate cognitive abilities. Creativity and diverse learning experiences are essential for holistic development.

In fact, no discipline is inherently better or worse. Every stream can lead to professional success if pursued with effort. Students often choose courses based on parental referral, media influence, the physical amenities of visited colleges, comparative analysis of fees, probable scholarships, and peer pressure, rather than their own lifetime goals and projected future careers. They are influenced by amenities like swimming pools and lifts over more relevant facilities like libraries or laboratories.

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.

A cabinet meeting held on Wednesday made a decision to this effect.

COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The first outbreak was reported in December 2019. It has now affected more than 4.8 million people worldwide and the cases are increasing in Nepal, almost 400 cases have already been detected. The cases are increasing and we know it, yet the Ministry of Education is adamant about not cancelling the SEE. The education minister has been saying that the exams will be held two or three weeks after the lockdown. SEE/ SLC is a board exam that has been held since 1990 B.S. But is it necessary for all students to take this exam to complete grade 10 and to graduate to higher secondary or intermediate level education (12th grade)?

As a tenth grader who is supposed to take the SEE exam but cannot due to the coronavirus pandemic, a thought is always circling in my mind: Will the exams be canceled? When will the exams start? Almost half a million students across the country are thinking the same. This is one of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic in Nepal.
