How Will Students Study?
With YouTube banned, students from grade 1 to 12 have lost access to virtual classes. The government has no alternative plan, leaving students and parents worried.
The government’s decision to ban YouTube has blocked its own virtual education system. The NCED Virtual YouTube channel, run by the Education Ministry, had been providing video lessons for students from grade 1 to 12.
With over 486,000 subscribers and more than 5,600 videos, the channel had become an important tool, especially during COVID-19, to support rural students and those needing extra study materials outside classrooms. Teachers used the platform to explain lessons in simple ways, making it easier for students to understand.
Deputy Director Mahendra Parajuli said the ban has created confusion about how to provide access to these lessons. “We now need to think about alternatives, but no clear solution has been found yet,” he told Techpana. He added that experts will discuss possible options soon.
Currently, students are worried about missing lessons. The channel includes most subjects in both Nepali and English for lower classes, while grades 11 and 12 have materials for compulsory subjects. Without YouTube, students who relied on these resources are now left without access.
