BARDIBAS: Minister for Education, Science and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokharel urged the teachers of community schools to get their children admitted to the community schools.

Distributing textbooks to the students of Janata Basic School at Bhangaha Municipality of Mahottari district Friday, Minister Pokharel asked school headmaster Kailash Chaudhary and all other teachers to enroll their children in the community schools.

Stating that the quality of the community schools was degrading in the recent decades, Minister Pokharel argued that the teachers should take major responsibility to improve the quality.

'How will the common people send their children to community schools if the teachers' children are going to private schools,' he questioned, adding that this had given a negative impression on teacher's decency and to the profession. 'First, the teachers should take steps for this,' Minister Pokharel suggested.
