In a headline news of KOL with catchy title "Major success for agitating students", one of the agreement is that private boarding schools r not allowed to use foreign books, but be limited to state prescribed curricula, schedules, etc. the news is read as:
...............The other agreements require schools to adhere to the state-prescribed curricula, course syllabi and schedules. Schools henceforth will also be disallowed from using foreign textbooks. ...........
Isn't this the stupid agreement? Is there any knowledge in state-prescribed curricula. How come the agitating students want to limit their knowledge in state prescribed books and curricula. Hope we are not back to Madrasa and Bhataye Pathsala. This will be a further set back in Nepal's educational system compared to other parts of the world. Any opinion?

Yeah, this is gonna be a setback, for the fact of the matter is most good books aren't home brewed, if you know what I mean, because they're mostly speaking foreign books. Many TU professors rely on foreign books for teaching and all, but now it seems they'll have to rely on something homegrown, which means that the quality of education received by the students isn't gonna be as good as they've been getting, although "quality" I know is a subjective terms because let's face it, education hasn't really been the priority, even though politicians seem to think it is. Am I right?

Is the president or other leader of the students' wing highly qualified or even educated..?? NO. So how would he understand the actual meaning of education. Education can never be "bideshi" or "swadeshi". Its just education. These leaders need a reason to show the government down. Thats all about it.
A literate person would never come out on streets agitating against the government, shouting slogans and disrupting almost everything. Instead he/she would be busy with developing their own society. My definition of a literate person is one who has some civic sense.
