Nepal's Education Minister resigns amid ongoing Teachers' protest and government inaction

Nepal's Education Minister, Sumana Shrestha, resigned on May 23, 2024, amid ongoing protests by teachers and perceived government inaction. The resignation came after teachers, who have been protesting for weeks, demanded the withdrawal of the School Education Bill, which they believe threatens their job security and rights. The bill, passed by the House of Representatives, aims to reform the education system but has faced significant opposition. Shrestha's resignation letter cited the government's failure to address the teachers' concerns and the lack of progress in resolving the issue as key reasons for her decision. The teachers' unions have vowed to continue their protests until their demands are met, putting further pressure on the government to reconsider the controversial bill.
