President Paudel for adopting education fulfilling Nepali's development aspirations

Kathmandu, June 6: President Ramchandra Paudel has said that it is essential to focus on curriculum and pedagogy on increasing domestic production and employment, as well as preparing skilled and disciplined citizens with respect for labor.

Addressing a programme organized on the occasion of the 75th anniversary (Diamond Jubilee) of Nepal Adarsha Secondary School here today, he said that in this modern era of technological advancement, it is necessary to provide education that meets the desires of Nepal and the Nepali people for increasing production, creating employment, and developing infrastructure.

"After the political change, the country is moving towards a rapid development path embracing the federal democratic republic governance system," the Head of the State said and emphasized the need to pay special attention to providing quality education by utilizing the curriculum, technology, and human resources according to the demands of modern times from the school level itself.

President Paudel stated that it is necessary for the government and all stakeholders in the education sector to equally focus on providing education in a way that can nurture capable and qualified individuals in the future, emphasizing the importance of quality, technical aspects, and competition.

He said it is necessary at present to emphasize reducing the trend of going abroad for studies and to develop human resources in accordance with the market demand.

Stating that the role of education has always been crucial in knowledge transfer and creation, awareness, awakening, and transformation, President Paudel stressed that education is not only the foundation for building a civilized and cultured modern society but also the basis for the overall development of the nation.

He stated that the establishment of Nepal Adarsha School in the heart of the capital during the Rana regime, which sought to deprive the public of education out of fear that educated people would oppose their autocratic rule, is a historical event.

President Paudel stated that the name of the school 'Nepal Adarsha' should always be remembered as it reflects the ideals of the founders of the school, diligence, and the dream of preparing dedicated students committed to the motherland.

On the occasion, he also honoured former students including Supreme Court Justice Sapana Malla Pradhan and Nepal Bar Association President Bijaya Prasad Mishra, as well as others who contributed to the school. (RSS)
