BIRGUNJ: Minister for Education, Science and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokharel has said that a Compulsory Education Act would be brought within five months, thereby ensuring 70 per cent of curriculum on technical education and limiting the general education to 30 per cent. So far, there is only seven percent of technical education in the existing curriculum, he argued.

Inaugurating the school enrollment campaign in Siraha district today, Minister Pokharel said children's schooling is linked to country's future, so any act of irresponsibility on the part of teachers won't be spared, he warned.

The 2028 education policy comes to an end soon, he said, informing that the school enrollment campaign would be launched in all districts of Province 2. As per the campaign, Minister Pokharel enrolled 15 students at a local Nepal National Bidyapeeth Secondary School from Birgunj Metropolitan City-11.
