Advances in science, technology, artificial intelligence and communication are changing the nature and demands of education. In this context, our education system must prepare students not only for the present but also for the challenges and opportunities of the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President stressed that fundamental human values must be strengthened alongside technological and scientific progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs technology becomes increasingly powerful, human judgment, responsibility and sensitivity become even more important. Therefore, alongside modern knowledge and skills, education must place humanity, tolerance, social harmony and responsibility towards the nation at its centre,\u201d Paudel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He described schools as foundational institutions that shape the nation\u2019s future by imparting knowledge, fostering awareness and nurturing consciousness among students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>School classrooms, he said, are not merely places for learning from textbooks; they also instil essential life values, including discipline, honesty, hard work, tolerance, morality, patriotism and social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paudel noted that today\u2019s students would become tomorrow\u2019s teachers, doctors, engineers, administrators, entrepreneurs, politicians, scientists and responsible citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEducation is not simply about helping students achieve good examination results. It is also about laying the foundation for problem-solving, innovative thinking, effective use of technology and responsible citizenship in society and the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President emphasised that achieving these goals requires coordinated efforts by the government, policymakers and all stakeholders in the education sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu: President Ram Chandra Paudel has said Nepal\u2019s education system must prepare students not only to meet present needs but also to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities of the future.
