प्राध्यापक फ्याकले भौतिक पूर्वाधार विकासको नीति र शिक्षाको नीति बनाउने अभ्यास उस्तै भएकाले समस्या भएको बताए । ‘पुल बनाउने प्रक्रिया र बालबालिकाका लागि पाठ्यक्रम बनाउने प्रक्रिया उस्तै छ । बजेट खोजिन्छ । यसो नापजाँच गरिन्छ । बनाउन जान्नेलाई पाठ्यक्रम बढाउने जिम्मा ठेक्का जस्तो गरेर दिइन्छ,’ उनले भने, ‘शिक्षा नीति र पाठ्यक्रम बनाउने प्रक्रिया नै गलत छ । त्यहीबाट सुधार खोज्नुपर्छ ।’ नीति र पाठ्यक्रममा सामाजिक न्याय र विविधताको विषयभन्दा पनि गुणस्तरको खोजीमा अलमलिएको फ्याकले जनाए । ‘अहिले सक्नेले पढ्छ । नसक्नेले पढ्दै । सक्नेले पास गर्छ । नसक्ने हुँदैन भन्ने भाष्य पनि स्थापित गर्न खोजिएको छ,’ उनले भने, ‘यसले समाजमा असमानता झन् बढाउँछ ।’

​शिक्षा विधेयकले आशा ल्याउन सकेन : प्रेम फ्याक, प्राध्यापक

प्राध्यापक प्रेम फ्याकले विद्यार्थी र अभिभावकका लागि विद्यालय शिक्षा विधेयकले आशा ल्याउन नसकेको बताए । ‘जसका लागि शिक्षा चाहिएको हो । विद्यार्थी अभिभावक मौन छन् । स्वार्थ समूह सडकमा छन्,’ उनले भने । अनिवार्य तथा निःशुल्क शिक्षा र शिक्षा सेवामूलक हुने संविधानको व्यवस्थाभन्दा विधेयक फरक रहेको उनले औंल्याए । ‘संविधानले विद्यालय शिक्षा निःशुल्क र सेवामूलक भनेपछि त्यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्ने मोडल खोजी गर्नुपर्थ्यो,’ उनले थपे, ‘संविधानलाई टेकेर कानुन बन्नुपर्नेमा विधेयकले संविधान समातेको देखिँदैन ।’
