Was not there strict exam to move to next grade at the end
of each academic year, and was not there the source
of illusive PRIDE: Passing the SLC exam for village peoples,
the education would meant to them life every day daal
bhaat tarkari. If we impose more strict exams and
try to call SLC exam as a great achievement, we are trying
to tell those SLC passed young minds that you have
achieved a great thing in your life. Iin fact, the toughness
of SLC exam for peoples from villages is really a great
PRIDE, such pride has put them in great trouble. Because
of this SLC Passout, and Wah Wah cheers in village
, s/he start to think as really great and it pushed him/her
into search for white collar job and finally, end up in
frustration, because in real world 10th grade cleared
person is just a literate, nothing more. So, the SLC
board should be dismantled and more liberal exam
system should be introduced in public schools. I would
rather prefer, EXAMS should not mean a gate to
go to next grade in govt. funded public shools which
are primarly meant to produce literate citizens.
Upto high school i.e. 10th grade, any kids can
join any class according to their age. Since they
are studying from tax collected from public, govt.
should not waste money and also age by forcing
them to go for same grade several time just because
s/he could not achieve 30% in all subjects. This
should be used only for college and university
students. The other important aspect of current
education system, should minimize the home work
to kids. The limitation should be imposed even on
private schools. The minimum and maximum limits
of courses should be imposed on all kinds of schools.
When I see the curriculum at private school, the
students finish course work of almost 2 o3 grade
higher than in Ministry of education 's curruiculum
designed for public schools. It has given unncessary
burden to the students, and they could do nothing
else outside studies. Thus, they are either deserved to
be white collar job seekers or nothing more than
kehi kaam-SHIP nabhako halludo. There needs to
be immediate action. Well, in todays Nepal who
is inerested in doing things so far. Everone is
rushing to grab their chair as much as they can.
Thats why educated peoples with honest and
kehi garou bhanne mind, have no future , no hope
in nepal. So, if they get legal or illegal chance to
quit their homeland they will be interested to leave
the country.

After Emergency impose, the way Girija trying to
be PM again, I forsee no hope in Nepal. If you
can escape, you are lucky. The Maoist problem will
not be solved in our generation, it will continue for
another decades if not quarater century. We will
be hearing everyday xx policemen were killed
and xx maoists were killed, ... as the cartoon in
TKP appeared said "everyday same news, are our
reporters on strike"....

Jai Nepal . Tara Na-Gae huncha nepal. (under present
situation).
