Nepal Police baton charge agitating teachers after tension escalates following the tearing of a police barricade erected near the Federal Parliament in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 27, 2025. The Teachers' Federation Nepal, an umbrella body representing school teachers, stages demonstrations for a month, demanding the immediate promulgation of the School Education Act that incorporates their demands. The agitating teachers are adamant about continuing their demonstrations until the Bill is passed and their concerns are addressed. Ensuring pay and perks on par with those of civil servants is their major demand. The list also includes payment of grades, allowances to relief quota teachers, and a separate dedicated hospital or health checkups at a discounted price at the Civil Service Hospital. Permanent status for temporary teachers through internal competitions is another demand. Allowing them to work under the federal government is another demand, though they downplay it following criticism that it is against the spirit of the constitution.
