Minister for Education and Sports Pradeep Nepal on Monday said that mere educational policies would not help develop the education sector, but professors should stay above politics to realise actual development.Speaking at a programme on Higher Education in National and International Context, Nepal said, "We talk of new Nepal but we have yet to replace our old attitudes with new ones."
However, he said that the professors should be politically conscious but not guided by politics.He underlined the need of technical, vocational and employment oriented education. "If we want to build a new Nepal, we need human resource with capacity and calibre to bring about changes in society, for which we need technical and vocational education," he said."If the country continues with the old educational policy, we better not expect any changes. There is a need of a complete overhaul of the current education policy," he said.
