Dear Balen Sir,
It's truly heartening to see Kathmandu Metropolitan taking proactive steps to revolutionize education in community schools. The commitment to modern teaching methods and improved facilities is commendable, reflecting a genuine investment in our children's future.

The introduction of smart classrooms, well-equipped labs, face attendance systems, free snacks, book-free Fridays, and practical classes undoubtedly enhances the learning experience and sets a higher standard for education.

However, amidst these positive changes, it's crucial to address the essence of education itself. Questions arise about the content and values we impart to our children. The removal of Sanskrit education and the absence of teachings on our rich culture and Hindu way of life raise valid concerns.

Our cultural heritage and historical legacy are invaluable treasures that deserve preservation and celebration. It's vital for our youth to learn about their roots, traditions, and the ethos that shapes our identity as a society.

Let's hope that alongside modernization, there's a concerted effort to uphold and integrate our cultural heritage and values into the educational curriculum. After all, a holistic education encompasses not only academic knowledge but also an understanding and appreciation of our heritage. 🌟

K.P. Oli Vows to Continue Active Politics for Another 20 Years to Lead the Country on the Right Path

Kathmandu — CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has emphasized the current necessity to lead the country towards good governance and development. Addressing the 11th district convention of CPN-UML Kaski on Friday, Chairman Oli announced his intention to remain active in politics for another 20 years to further advance the country on the right path.

“CPN-UML is now in a new political scenario. But the party exists. The party has its own policies. The party has its own goals. Without deviating from our goals and policies, in the current situation, it is essential to build national strength, lead the country towards good governance and development, and restore culture and cultural values,” Chairman Oli said. He added, “In the past, someone used to think of a Nepal without CPN-UML, and someone used to think of a Nepal without K.P. Oli. But now, such thoughts won't work – I have said this before, 'Even if the jungle turns dark, I've ploughed my own field. This is not a planted crop; I've sown it myself. Even if others don't have hope, I do. CPN-UML will continue to sit at the forefront and will usher this country forward, eliminating poverty and hunger, even if it's just a bit, CPN-UML will find the time to sit in peace."

He also commented on the strength of UML under his leadership. He directed party workers to focus on organizational development, emphasizing on winning the majority alone in the 2028 elections.

In the new political scenario, there is a necessity for CPN-UML to remain and lead the country on the path of national strength building, good governance, and development, as per his statement.
