The most of the news was on the impact of the Gen-Z Revolt on the education sector last week.

Kathmandu - The future of the Education Bill, which was passed by the Education, Health and Information Technology Committee (EHITC) of the House of Representatives (HoR) after two years of discussions and submitted to the HoR, has been uncertain because of he upheaval in the power structure happened due to the revolt led by Gen-Z (Generation Z) against corruption, nepotism, favoritism, cronyism, and instability. It was scheduled to be tabled in the meeting of HoR on 11th September and passed on the 12th and 13th. The future of the Education Bill has become uncertain after the dissolution of the HoR. Most of the educational news in the media last week also related on the impact of the revolt. 

Some private schools where political leaders were involved or had their beneficial relations were also attacked. NAMI (Naya Aayam Multi-disciplinary Institute) College and Ullens Schools were extensively damaged.

Three student organizations active at Lamjung Agricultural Campus of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, in Sundarbazar, Lamjung, have decided to collectively dissolve the organization in solidarity with the Gen-G movement. The student organizations affiliated to the Nepali Congress, CPN (UML), and CPN (Maoist Center) have taken this decision, mentioned the news. 

Preparations are also underway to start partial work of the ministry from the Keshar Mahal Library, quoted another news.

Some employees have cleaned and prepared a room for the minister to live in the current Ministry of Education building in Singha Durbar. Relocating ministries and purchasing new ones during a time of economic damage caused by major devastation will unnecessarily drain state resources. Not only that, but to understand the seriousness of the situation in which s/he have become a minister, s/he must also smell of smoke and ash at Singha Durbar. Even though some junior employees have cleaned and made rooms to the Minister, the Secretary, and Joint Secretaries livable, citing the need to be frugal, the higher-ranking employees of the ministry are still looking at the Keshar Mahal! There is no strong evidence to that the lure of contracts and commissions for moving goods and purchasing new goods have not worked. It's difficult to change habits.

Due to the revolt, it has been decided that classes at Kathmandu University (KU), Tribhuvan University (TU), and Midwest University will resume only after Chhath. Universities have made this decision citing inconvenience in the movement of students, teachers, and staff. The notice is to be published only after the university resumes its teaching and learning for the conduct of previously published exams and other examinations. In the case of exams being conducted by different schools, the Dean of the concerned school and the Examination Controller will make the necessary coordination and take the decision, mentioned the news. 

TU has also postponed the undergraduate and postgraduate examination programs scheduled for September 11th. TU has issued a notice that all examinations have been postponed until further notice. Midwestern University has also postponed exams, the news quoted. 

The National Examination Board (NEB) has postponed the Chance Exams for Grade 12 scheduled for August 28 and 29. The NEB has stated that the revised exam schedule will be published after a period of at least seven days, the news published. 

Despite being said to be a movement led by the Gen-Z generation, education has not yet been a topic of discussion even after days. Burning is certainly condemnable, but the arson at Ullens appears to have been caused by the school's president, Congress leader Arju Deuba and her corrupt image, rather than by opposition to the privatization of education and their Dadaism. As always, the Ministry of Education has lagged behind in the government formation process, giving no room for enthusiasm to those who consider education a tool for social transformation. Despite the investment of so much time, money, and energy of many, the School Education Bill, which is in its final stages, is certainly not within the purview of the interim government. It is uncertain what the new parliament will do with the Bill if elections are held. It seems that education activists should once again make an effort to make education a topic of public concern in election-oriented discussions. If education is not given importance in the process of transferring power, the implication of this should be seen as another step towards appointment of individuals who lack the energy, insight, and ability to think about institutionalizing long-term change in important decision-making positions. If Gen-Z thinks about this and makes an effort to do so (or others to whom they listen), their efforts may be worthwhile. 

Ramesh Prasad Gautam wrote in Gorkhapatra that since education is the infrastructure of human development and the basis of human history, civilization, and culture, the education system should be made effective, creative, useful and productive.

The Chinese government has reconstructed a school that was completely damaged by the earthquake with an investment of USD 10 million. Although it took nearly a decade to rebuild the school building destroyed by the earthquake, the building with excellent and well-equipped classrooms has been built in the district, published the news.
