‘Education and health are our essential needs. So, from school to university, quality education is a must,’ Deuba underlined. He wished such debates would be meaningful to whet views on making education further relevant.

Development of the education system is in NC’s high priority, Deuba said, adding that the party should also study well on making forthcoming education act effective.
