2020-09-08

Teachers of Kanchanpur working under the teaching-learning grant quota in community schools with zero vacancies have padlocked the Education Development and Coordination Unit and the office of the head of the unit on Tuesday.

In the previous academic session  a lump sum was released in the first month of the economic year as a salary for the granted teachers working under  the Government of Nepal in community schools across the country.
 But, the salary of the past two months is yet to be released in this new economic session by showing the crisis of coronavirus pandemic.


Balbir Singh Bhandari, the coordinator of the struggle committee, said they were compelled to padlock the office after their demands handed to education minister through a press release was not addressed.
