Director General of Department of Education Mahashram Sharma has said that implementation of the directive issued by the government was essential to make schools as zones of peace.
Speaking at an interaction on schools as zones of peace on Wednesday in Bhaktapur organized by the Education Journalists´ Group, Bhaktapur chapter, Sharma said the government was planning to bring policy to take action to those resorting to vandalism and organizing shutdowns in the academic institutions.
He also wished for supports from political parties, teachers, students, parents and bodies concerned to make the schools as zones of peace.
On the occasion, press advisor to the President and senior journalist, Rajendra Dahal, said in the past it was difficult to declare schools as zones of peace due to conflict but the situation, now, was worse than that.
Dahal said schools were becoming unsafer due to many reasons including row in teacher and school management committee´s chairperson appointment and others.
Dahal expressed dissatisfaction towards the schools becoming a platform for political activities.
The President´s press advisor said that out of total Rs 70 billion budget allocated for education, nearly Rs 5 billion was misused. He suggested to journalists to bring out in-depth reports over the irregularities and economic corruption in education sector.
Similarly, educationists Dr Bidhyanath Koirala said programme for peaceful education was required in the post-conflict period.
