Solidarity to the struggle of the Nepalese Teachers’ movement
wftucentral.org/solidarity-to-
Government school thousands of teachers in Nepal have been gathering in the capital Kathmandu for the past 7 days and are protesting. This is joint movement of Teachers under the banner of confederation of Nepalese Teachers (CNT). The main demand of the teachers movement is to pressure the government to enact a School Education Act that secures the teacher job security , ensures growth, development, promotion, minimum wages, ensures social security, and ensures trade union rights. Today, the protest have been joined by of all teachers and received international solidarity.   Speech by Premal Kumar Khanal (CONEP Nepal), and WFTU Presidential Council Member: Dear Teachers and Friends, On behalf of the Confederation Nepalese Professional -CONEP Nepal and the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), I express my heartfelt solidarity with your legitimate and just movement. We must internalize the basic mantra of Unity is strength, United we Stand, divided we loose, Fall. And I am confident that all teachers will achieve success if we move forward unitedly. The teachers’ movement has a glorious history. From 1980 to 1995 when the teachers’ movement came, pensions, gratuities, medical facilities, transfers, promotions, etc. were arranged for teachers. But again, the government did not work according to its promise. It produced 17 types of teachers. Instead of determining permanent posts and making permanent appointments, it divided teachers into relief, contract, grant quota, child teachers, etc. Since 1994/1995 no advertisement was published to fill permanent posts for almost 15 years. The government did not pay attention to investing enough for the physical improvement of the university. The government should invest 15/20 percent of the total budget to improve the current education system. But the government has not paid attention. In the midst of success, the Teachers Union / Federation drew the attention of the government to the educational problem. But the government continued to carry the Education Act of 1972 Meanwhile, labor exploitation among teachers increased. It produced two types of teachers. It produced two types of teachers, those who receive pensions, gratuities and those who do not, those who are eligible for transfers and promotions and those who do not. The government kept retreating from providing teachers with skills and development training in line with changing knowledge and technology. As a result, the quality of education also declined. Taking the dire situation in the education sector seriously, the government has reached agreements with you twice after you staged a massive protest last year. The outcome of the agreement is the Education Act for a people-oriented quality education system. It has been 19 months since the bill was presented in the parliament. There have been 3 sessions of parliament. But since the government did not take it seriously, you are now in a decisive movement. Dear teacher friends, Your demands are legitimate, This movement is to bring about radical reforms and changes in education and to protect the rights and interests of teaching staff. This is a movement for truth. It is a movement to get fair wages for labor. Your movement has received support and solidarity not only nationally but also internationally. The World Federation of Teachers (FISE) has expressed support and solidarity with the demands and movement through its 20th World Teachers’ Conference and has drawn the attention of the Nepal government to fulfill the demands as soon as possible. The government has still adopted neoliberal economic policies and programs. The constitution says that education should be made easily available and free to all. This is the current contradiction. The educational mafia is trying to commercialize education. Now the solution to this is only possible through the socialist education system. Therefore, the government should now invest 15/20 percent of the amount of total budget every year. Similarly, the government should finalize the issues agreed upon with the teachers and call a special session of the parliament and issue an act. And, the government should reach an agreement with the political parties regarding the right to education mentioned in the constitution and amend the constitution through the parliament. Finally, I wish you complete success in your movement. 8 th April, 2025

Does, als alternative to commercial #dating platforms, something like a #fediverse instance or other #noncommercial/ not-centrally-owned platform aimed at finding people for private connections exist which is #usable (↗ reply)?

By "dating" I mean: Not limited to (but not excluding either) #romantic or #sexual encounters, but also to find #friends‍hips, "#platonic"/‍#aromantic #relationships, #buddies for #activities, etc.

And I wish openness for #queer‍ness, #nonbinary, #agender, #lgbt* etc.
