KATHMANDU, Feb 3: Fourteen different networks campaigning for quality education in the country have expressed concern over what they called the school restructuring and reconstruction not picking up speed despite the passage of more than one and half years of the Gorkha Earthquake.
The National Campaign for Education-Nepal (NCE Nepal), together with the INGO, Education Task Group, have in a press release on Thursday, called on the government to give the first priority to schools in the post-earthquake reconstruction drive, citing the students were compelled to take classes in the temporary learning centers as the school reconstruction task is still incomplete.
