📢 Private Schools Withdraw Closure, Announce Parliament Siege
Kathmandu, Bhadra 8 – Private schools across Nepal have withdrawn their earlier decision to shut down on Bhadra 9. However, they have announced a new protest program to lay siege to the Parliament today.
The decision came after an emergency meeting of HISSAN, PABSON, NPABSON, and APEN, initiated by HISSAN Bagmati Province. The organizations had warned of a nationwide closure if their demands were not met, but later decided to continue their movement through new forms of protest.
According to NPABSON President Subash Neupane, protesters will gather at Maitighar Mandala at 11 AM and march towards the Parliament. HISSAN Acting President Yubraj Sharma stressed that the state is trying to weaken private schools, but they will continue the struggle until their concerns are addressed.
Their key demands include scrapping provisions in the School Education Bill on full scholarships and converting private schools into “non-profit” entities.
