The government has issued a notice recommending legal action against two Non-government Organisations- National Campaign for Education and Global Action Nepal.
The two organisations published 500 copies of the report which was made public on December 4. Thirteen commissioners, who helped draft the report, had unveiled the 500-page book at a programme at Durbar High School.
A press release issued by the Ministry of Education Science and Technology states that the two NGOs had illegally used the national emblem, and mentioned the ministry’s name without government’s consent.
The ministry has instructed to scrap all the legal agreements reached with the NGOs with immediate effect.
Deepak Sharma, spokesperson and the ministry’s joint-secretary, said they wrote to the Ministry of Home Affairs to look into legal issues, the Social Welfare Council to take action against the organisations and the Office of the Prime Minister, since the report legally belonged to it.
The government had in mid-July 2018 decided to form a high level commission to prepare its report about overall education system to be adopted in the context of federalism.
The majority of 13 commissioners had then decided to publish and make the report public with support from the two organisations.
