I want to clear few things, these comments are based upon deliverable of promises made before election. I had to mention this before saying anything because many of you will again say to me, Oh! so you really think the maoist are  going to do what they've promised and something similar to this nature. I am being optimistic here and thinking positively.

Maoist plans are to abolish all private schools and establish a new education system and make education free for all until 12 grade. Making a system that tries to educate all children equally to a high level is a fundamental building block to any country. Some country like Germany have gone further and made colleges free too.
As we all know that starting a new school in nepal has become a business these days. You observe a school in every block in kathmandu. There is nothing wrong with establishment of so many schools, but the only problem is that only 2 to 3% of nation's children/family can really attend it. I mean some of these 10 +2 charge like 5000 per month (this is during my time, not sure how much it has grown, may be exponentially). Thats like a month of salary a normal person working in government job gets, now how can he afford it. So if he decides to take his son/daughter to public government school then u know what happens. Public schools run by government still have the same curriculum since 1980s etc. Do you remember the book for english for SLC.

Please add your opinions...this might just be a start..
