Relief packages needed for educational institutions to make teachers survive during the lockdown

Speaking at a special hour at the National Assembly on 25th June, Thursday, Dr Bimala Rai Paudyal drew the attention of the Parliament on the importance of teachers for the country’s development and how badly Covid-19 initiated lockdown has challenged the very survival of the private school teachers. As all schools are not in a position to maintain minimum cost needed to survive during the lockdown, she suggested the government to work with private schools and local governments, categorize the schools and devise some relief packages to help school teachers survive with dignity during this difficult time.
