Justified Investment The growth of higher secondary schools is a good sign in that it has indeed
stopped the out-flow of millions of rupees outside the country by luring students to study
within the country (Is Investment Justified? Spotlight August 4). As such the investment
in this sector is totally justified. Besides, the opening of scores of ten plus two
schools will certainly lead to competition on price and quality. Eventually, a number of
quality schools will come into being. Dipesh Shakya Better Than PCL The studies in higher secondary schools are much better than those provided
in Tribhuwan University Campuses (Is Investment Justified? Spotlight August 4). As they
are managed by private sector, the regular disruptions and politicization is absent. For
this very reason students are increasingly preferring ten plus two schools over the TU's
PCL campuses. Sundar KC Needs Govt Support The higher secondary schooling system is in its infancy in the country. This
system has the potential to provide the quality education that was absent earlier (Is
Investment Justified? Spotlight August 4). The government should, therefore, support this
sector for at least another half a decade. It should develop institutional framework,
formulate unambiguous policies and guide this sector till it can look after itself. Krishna Kumar Joshi How Bizarre! This refers to, "Citizenship Act Row, ". I found the write-up quite
interesting. Our country's new bill is nothing but bizarre! Today when the country's
political system is in the doldrums and when there is a great population explosion, is
this some kind of practical joke played by some irresponsible politicians? Some House of
Representatives decide on a new bill we, the citizens are expected to sit and ignore
all the hanky-panky that goes around. When it's very difficult to get a citizenship in our neighboring country
Bhutan and alike, are Nepalese citizenships so cheap or almost worthless? This bizarre
bill is the answer to the millions involved in illegal activities who are seeking refuge.
When the problem of the underground communists is still a hot and burning issue which has
come and stood as a boulder on the way to the development of the country, why invite more
trouble, why add fuel to the fire? Security is becoming a problem in Nepal and with such
entry in the country, won't the future generations not have reasons to fear
if they'll be driven out of the country or if they might someday as well become,î
Foreigners,îin their own motherland? The politicians only know why the new act will be
enacted when the whole world knows that it is against the very spirit of the Constitution
of Nepal. Research has shown that our political body does consist of some highly
educated scholars and intellectuals but it's absolutely disastrous how they can't decide
for the betterment of the country. It gives one an errie feeling and a big question arises as to why the politicians are pestering so
very hard to pass the bill.I wonder if bribery is the cause or some deadly threat
from a third party. Yes,this bill will contaminate and pollute our holy motherland, encourage
criminal activists from our neighboring countries who might soon be able
to buy these hot cakes with EASE and then create trouble in our already very troubled
country. GOD BLESS MY NEPAL! Moheindu Chemjong Stress On Quality The mushrooming growth of ten plus two schools indicate the disturbing trend
of quantity overwhelming the quality (Is Investment Justified? Spotlight August 4). The
concerned authorities should closely examine this growth and prevent any compromise on
quality. Strong criteria should be enforced before allowing anybody to open a higher
secondary school. Ritu Sharma Lax On Laxmanpur The construction of Laxmanpur barrage by India near Nepalese border (Bund of
Discord Spotlight July 28) has soured the relations between the two countries. While no
one can doubt the fault of India, it is also to be noted why the Nepalese authorities were
mum about the issue until the eleventh hour. Certainly, such a big barrage cannot have
been constructed overnight and definitely Nepalese authorities were not blind to the issue
till water began to spill over the borders, or are they? The lion's share of blame should
therefore go to our very own authorities. As it is useless to cry over the spilt milk, one
can only hope that the authorities are not that inefficient to tackle this issue in the
days to come. Binaya Sharma Why No Marathon? It was sad to know that no Nepalese marathon runners would be taking part in
the upcoming Sydney Olympics (Bye Bye Marathon Spotlight July 28). Marathon was one of the
forte of Nepalese athletes. Many a gold medal was won by Nepalese marathon runners in the
South Asian games. It is beyond logic why the sports officials have decided not to take
part in marathon in the coming Olympics. There is still time and one only hopes that
wisdom will prevail over our sports authorities. Dinesh Baidya It Stinks The intensity of the stink emanating from growing heaps of garbage is on the
increase and the authorities are yet to find a suitable dumping site (Nowhere To Dump
Spotlight July 21). The garbage problem of Kathmandu is a classic case how the inefficient
officials and disoriented politicians make up for a deadly combine. While the ministries
and municipalities have already inflicted wounds in their heads by scratching it too much
in their bid to find suitable dumping site, the opposition politicians are making hay
while the garbage heap grows. Unless these two lots improve themselves, there is no
respite for the common street walkers who will have to continue to walk with their nose
closed for God knows how many more years. Suresh Amatya |
