Kathmandu, April 21 :- National Campaign for Education (NCE) Nepal has called on all three tier governments to lay emphasis on promoting distance education through the employment of technology to teach the students during the lockdown.
The network of various organisations working for promoting education has urged the government to pay attention to enhancing the professional development of the teachers for this.
It also called for an increment in the budget allocated to the education sector in the budget for the upcoming fiscal year taking into account the adverse situation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasising on enhancing the skills and efficiency of teachers working in geographically remote and economically deprived regions.
In a press release on Monday, NCE Nepal president Dilli Ram Subedi called for the effective implementation of the government’s plan of connecting all schools with ICT. It may be recalled here that the government is in the process of preparing the outline of education through online-based technology.
Likewise, in the case of the suspended school examinations, NCE Nepal urged the stakeholders to upgrade the students to the next class through internal evaluation grading, bring awareness programmes on disaster risk and include the participation of the civil society for operation of alternative mode education.
