To vote go to: www.nepalitimes.com way out Q. What is the foremost reason for the spike in crime? SUBASH DEVKOTA wo months after the resignation of the Maoist- led coalition, it’s not just the new government T and parliament that are stuck: the whole country has ground to a halt. There is a simple way out of this stalemate. The NC and UML just have to agree to a Maoist proposal to have Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal make a speech in parliament containing the following sentence: “The Maoists regard the president’s move on the army chief as unconstitutional…” But the UML and NC have said there is a legal issue with calling the president’s move “unconstitutional” because that would make the current coalition also unconstitutional. “That’s all that is holding things up,” the prime minister’s press adviser, Bishnu Rijal, told Nepali Times on Thursday. The Big Three have been meeting all week trying to find a compromise formula, but have found it difficult EDITORIAL p2 to untangle themselves from their 11 month to go rigid positions on the president’s reinstatement of the army chief on 4 May, the move that precipitated this crisis. What has complicated matters is that the Maoists have had to deal not just with the NC and UML, but also with a radical faction that doesn’t want any dealings with the other parties.

ALL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL Global Initiative on Out-of-School Children © UNICEF Nepal/2016/NShrestha NEPAL COUNTRY STUDY JULY 2016 Tel.: Government of Nepal MINISTRY OF EDUCATION Singha Durbar Ref. No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
