Kathmandu, Nov.24: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said that the higher education of the country has stood at a challenging point.

Addressing the Vice-Chancellor program on Unification and internalization in Higher Education Standards, PM said that the education system of the country should be further improved textbooks should be contemporized and there should be an upgrade in education.  

According to PM, the education system has stood at a challenging point. On one side, there is a need for a humungous investment for channelling the physical and digital infrastructure, skilled manpower and employment after education, which is needed to impart quality, technical and entrepreneurial higher education. The investment that is being made by the government is insufficient to provide that.  

While, on the other hand, the brain drain has become another biggest hurdle in the education system. 

There is a horde of people investing in the education sector by opening universities, but, the problem on a large scale is the lack of sufficient students for the existing infrastructure.
