Govt to print SLC question papers in Nepal

Govt to print SLC question papers in Nepal

The government has decided to print the School Leaving Certificate (SLC)
question papers in Nepal instead of India from now on.

A cabinet meeting held at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of
Ministers, Singha Durbar Monday took a decision to this effect. The
decision comes after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the
Legislature-Parliament directed Ministry of Education (MoE) to print the
SLC question papers in Nepal

The parliamentary committee had also suggested using the Janak Education
Material Centre (JEMC) owned printing press for printing SLC question
papers and seek other private alternatives if JEMC alone is not
sufficient.

Though JEMC has its own state-of-the-art security press, the government
has been printing SLC question papers in India citing security reasons --
rampant leakage of questions papers.

Similarly, the meeting also gave a go-ahead to the grant aid of Rs 504
million for the Sustainable Land Management Programme from the Swiss
Government and Rs 1.9 billion for the Community Irrigation Project from
the Asian Development Bank.

Among others, the meeting also decided to form a committee to acquire land
for construction of a fast-track road linking the capital Kathmandu to
terai districts.
