Aug 30, Kathmandu- Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has announced to conduct online education across the country so that up to 70 percent of students will pass in the upcoming SEE examination of Class 10.

"Only around 50 percent passing the SEE is an extreme injustice to the students. To end this situation, I have asked the Ministry of Education, Nepal Telecom and other agencies to make necessary arrangements. Instead of giving more marks, we have already started work so that the students write well and pass more. We will work to show why the present government was formed in the results. He also clarified that the government will proceed more clearly and firmly in the coming days for the prosperity of the country and the strengthening of overall education.
