Teachers in Baglung have strongly protested against government plans to merge schools and realign teaching staff, arguing the moves could disrupt education and harm rural communities. The educators claim the forced consolidations ignore local needs and fail to provide adequate alternatives for students and teachers affected by closures. Concerns have been raised about increased travel burdens for students and potential job insecurity for staff as schools are consolidated. Authorities insist the changes aim to improve efficiency, but opposition remains fierce among those directly impacted.
