Bartaula calls for early passage of School Education Bill

KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Chief Whip Mahesh Bartaula has stressed the urgent need to enact key pending laws related to federalism and education to fully implement the constitution.

In an interview with the RSS news agency, Bartaula said that although some essential laws have been passed, several important bills are still pending. “The Federal Civil Service Act, the Federal Police Act, and the School Education Act have yet to be enacted,” he said, adding that the absence of these laws continues to obstruct the constitution’s full implementation.

Bartaula expressed particular concern over delays in the School Education Act. “We have made significant efforts to improve school education, integrate technology, and promote technical education. However, the delay in enacting this crucial legislation has stalled progress,” he said.

He called for a comprehensive legal framework, including reforms in the education sector, to support the effective enforcement of the constitution.

Bartaula also said discussions have begun on reviewing the constitution’s strengths and shortcomings. “Amendments on some issues may be necessary,” he added.
