ABSON Protests School Education Bill with Nationwide Slow-Motion Bus Rally
Kathmandu – The Association of Private Schools in Nepal (ABSON) staged a major protest today against the recently proposed School Education Bill, claiming that the legislation undermines the interests of private schools across the country. The protest began at 11 AM, with school buses participating in a coordinated slow-motion rally to draw public attention to their demands. School buses across Nepal displayed black banners and moved at a restricted speed of 20 km/h, symbolically expressing their discontent with the bill. In Kathmandu, vehicles circled the 27-kilometer Ring Road, carrying large banners that highlighted the opposition of private schools to certain provisions of the legislation. ABSON representatives argue that the bill, if passed without amendments, could negatively affect the autonomy of private schools, their financial sustainability, and the quality of education offered. Officials emphasized that the protest was peaceful but intended to send a strong message to lawmakers that private educational institutions expect their concerns to be addressed. The protest has sparked discussions among parents, educators, and policymakers, with many calling for dialogue between the government and private school associations to ensure that reforms benefit all stakeholders without compromising the interests of students or institutions.
