NepalNews.com: Pro-Maoist teacher union shuts down schools across the country
Educational institutions throughout the country have remained closed Monday due a strike called by a Maoist teachers’ union.
The Unified CPN (Maoist) affiliated All Nepal Teachers Organisation (ANTO) has forcibly shut all schools in the country in line with the mother party’s policy to mobilise its sister organisations to make its third phase agitation a success.
UCPN (Maoist), agitating against an incident in May when the President had overruled the erstwhile Maoist-led government’s decision to fire the then army chief, had instructed its sister organisations to organise their own programmes sector-wise in support of the agitation.
Some six million students studying in about 10,000 community and institutional schools across the country have been deprived of their right to education today due to the strike.
