“Due to politicization, Nepal’s higher education is at the verge of collapse,” said former vice chancellor Dr. Kedar Bhakta Mathema talking to Radio Nepal. In his half an hour interview, Dr. Mathema regretted over the government’s failure to appoint vice chancellors in the universities.
“It is unfortunate that all the public universities are without vice chancellors or leaders for months and no political leaders seems to be bothered about the future of more than half a million students,” said Dr. Mathema.
“There are high qualities of teachers in Tribhuwan University but the problem is without leadership. If we leave the TU without leadership for long, there will be chaos in the University and the future of students will be uncertain,” said Dr. Mathema.
He argued that the government needs to appoint vice chancellors on the basis of academic performance, commitments and his contribution to education.
“People gave political parties the mandate to write the constitution on the basis of consensus. However, political parties are looting the country by misinterpretation political consensus,” said Dr. Mathema.
