The first phase of the seminar on making adjustments in the curriculum of 15 subjects has already been held and the second phase is being organised to make adjustments in the remaining subjects, Nepal said.

Referring to the agitation of teachers, Nepal said, “The teachers themselves will have to bear losses.” Saying that the minister of state for education has been briefed on all matters related to the stir, Nepal said he himself did not want to talk about it.
