2025 Nepal Teachers Protest
The 2025 Nepal Teachers' Protest was a nationwide strike and series of demonstrations organized by public school teachers across Nepal during April 2025. The movement was led primarily by the Nepal Teachers' Federation (NTF) in opposition to the government’s proposed School Education Bill, which teachers argued undermined job security, centralized teacher management, and disregarded previously signed agreements with educators' unions. Background Following Nepal's transition to federalism in 2015, educators raised concerns over the decentralization of teacher recruitment and management to local governments. Teachers' unions claimed that this led to inconsistent standards and increased political interference. Although a new education bill was proposed in 2023, it remained unpassed for over a year and failed to reflect prior agreements between the government and teachers’ associations. Protests and Demands On April 2, 2025, the NTF launched an indefinite strike involving teac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A teacher, also called a schoolteacher or formally an educator, is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue, via the practice of teaching. ''Informally'' the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family (homeschooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor).

Job Security
Job security is the probability that an individual will keep their job; a job with a high level of security is such that a person with the job would have a small chance of losing it. Many factors threaten job security: globalization, outsourcing, downsizing, recession, and new technology, to name a few. Basic economic theory holds that during periods of economic expansion businesses experience increased demand, which in turn necessitates investment in more capital or labor. When businesses are experiencing growth, job confidence and security typically increase. The opposite often holds true during a recession: businesses experience reduced demand and look to downsize their workforces in the short term. Governments and individuals are both motivated to achieve higher levels of job security. Governments attempt to do this by passing laws (such as the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964) which make it illegal to fire employees for certain reasons. Individuals can influence their degre ...
