KATHMANDU, AUG 05 -
Academic institutions across the nation have been shut down due to the educational strike called by the 11 agitating students’ unions on Thursday.
The unions resorted to the one-day strike to press the Tribhuvan University (TU) to revoke its decision to phase out the Proficiency Level Certificate (PCL).
The students’ unions have been conducting protest in different stages demanding withdrawal of the phase-out decision.
They had called transport strikes in front of TU-affiliated campuses and padlocked the TU offices earlier.
The protest programmes will continue and grow stronger until the demands are addressed and admission in the PCL is opened for the new session, Bhaskar Kafle, President of All Nepal National Independent Students' Union – Revolutionary (ANNISU-R) Fifth informed.
Meanwhile, in a recent development, police have rounded up 14 student leaders, including Mahendra Shah, General Secretary of ANNISU-R Fifth, and Arjun Karki, Coordinator of ANNISU-Unified, from Kanya Campus, Dillibazar.
