Nepal’s Education Minister Sashmit Pokharel has stated that the responsibility of appointing rectors and registrars in universities lies with the vice-chancellors.
Speaking to journalists at the Ministry on Friday, Minister Pokharel said that universities are autonomous bodies and have been given the authority to form their own teams.
‘Universities are independent and autonomous institutions. We have told them to make their own decisions and form their teams as they see fit,’ Minister Pokharel said, ‘The vice-chancellors were appointed through a transparent process. There will be no political interference in the appointment of rectors, registrars, and deans.’
There have been delays in the appointment of rectors and registrars in universities, including Tribhuvan University, with acting officials currently holding the positions. Minister Pokharel expressed surprise at the delay and expressed confidence that the appointments would be made soon.
