Implement it

It is known to everybody that the recommendations made by the government formed different high level task forces have been hardly followed and implemented in the past. Recently, Kedar Bhakta Mathema -led high level task force formed by the government to address the inconsistencies prevalent in medical education in the country had submitted its report with several recommendations to the Prime Minister Sushil Koirala. This task force was formed to address one of the demands put forward by Dr. Govind K.C. during his fast-onto-death protest staged in Kathmandu a few months back. 

Several key recommendations have been made keeping in view the existing malpractices found in the field of medical education in the country. If the government sincerely implements these recommendations, the chances of removing anomalies from medical educations are very high. However, I see slim chances of implementation of these relevant recommendations in the near future based on the past records.

Enrolment of students only on merit basis, opening of new medical institutions outside the Kathmandu valley, formation of Health Education Council (HEC) under the chairmanship of PM and fixing the fee ceiling for MBBS course at Nrs 3.5 million are the key recommendations among others. Time has come for the government and political parties to show determination to strictly follow and implement these recommendations without wasting time. Otherwise, they will also have same fate as other previous recommendations that were dumped somewhere.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

Children’s use

The Himalayan Times 24 December 2015 Children’s use Rauatahat district remained tense after one student was shot dead by security forces during demonstration on Sunday. A day after those incidents, irate students attacked and burnt down some police posts, pulled down compound wall of and picketed Area Police for four hours. They even attacked and burnt some government offices as well. It was very unfortunate to see the disgruntled parities involving students in the protests which is totally against the rights of the students to independently engage in teaching-learning process. It is really surprising to see the security personnel using excessive forces to quell people’s right to peaceful demonstration. And, it is really disturbing and unfortunate to see the students coming out in the streets and get killed during demonstration. Where are we leading the young students who are considered to be the future pillars of the nation? Why do not the ruling parties become ...
