PCL phase-out

Tribhuwan University (TU) govt-owned oldest university has been making unsuccessful attempts to phase out proficiency certificate level (PCL) from the university since 2057 BS. But this year the same decision has been made from the university-hall. 13 student organizations have been pressurizing the TU to take its decision back keeping the matter of the future of thousand of students in view and there is much possibility of government’s revoking its decision.
This is the fact that thousand of children of poor people are studying t TU not because of desire but because of not being capable to afford the fees of expensive +2s. We also can’t deny the fact that the children of affluent parents are pursuing their further studies in the big and expensive +2 of towns as well as foreign countries.
The policies of the government to improve deficiencies for the quality education on the basis of international standard are always good and appreciable. But without making a proper way out for the forth-coming problems, it would be sheer unwise to do anything of that sort. The government provides the license of Higher Secondary School (10+2) only after taking a big amount of money as mortgage, the degree-holder lecturers also demand a handsome salary with perks and it needs some extra infrastructure to establish +2, in such condition the management team cannot manage with low fee-structure from the students. To meet all the requirements, they must charge a big admission fee, monthly-fees, exam fee together with other additional charges.
To cope with the problem, the government must upgrade all the schools to +2 without any extra charges for license and so on, provide economical help to economically backward schools, provide skilled manpower to teach properly through open, free and fair vacancies, make affordable fee-structure like that of TU, etc then only it would be possible as well as systematic to phase PCL out from TU.
Without managing to do so, a large number of people will remain undedicated, unemployed, unskilled, and uncultured as a result there will be more robbery, looting, theft, rape-cases, abduction, extortion, killing, and other crimes in the society. Education is the fundamental right of all the students; therefore, the government must ensure all its citizens about their basic right by making it available and reachable for all equally.
