Nepal, July 1 -- The Nepal Teachers' Federation (NTF) has warned of fresh protests if the government fails to implement the School Education Act by July 7.

The NTF is demanding that 75 percent of teaching positions be filled through internal promotion and the remaining 25 percent through open competition. It is also calling for a reduction in the performance evaluation score threshold for teachers.
